“It is great pleasure for me to kick off this year’s “Operation Turtle” beach cleaning campaign organized by the Japanese Society. Thank you very much for making time to participate in this volunteering event with the same goodwill to clean the beach so that we can see turtles come back to this beach. My special thanks go to those who cooperate with us every year: HE Sheikh Abdullah Ahmad Al-Humoud Al-Sabah, Director General of Environment Public Authority (EPA), Kuwait Environment Protection Society (KEPS), Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) and Kuwait Boy Scouts Association,” Ambassador Yasunari said.
