Doha: Fifty members of the Bosnian community in Qatar recently cleaned up a beach close to the heritage site of Al Zubara in the North of the country. 

The Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Qatar, H E Haris Lukovac, joined his countrymen and women in this noble effort. Over the approximately two hours, around 500 kilograms of waste were collected and safely disposed of. 

“Qatar has such a diverse and unique ecosystem and we do this to give back and help protect it for the future generations to enjoy. Plastic pollution is a serious problem and we hope to inspire others to recycle and not to litter,” said Haris Alisic. 

“We are very engaged in the community work and this is just one of the activities of the Bosnian community here in Qatar. It is a very educational and an awareness-raising activity for our kids. We will come out and do it again insha Allah,” said Edin Focic. 

This volunteering effort was organized in a cooperation with Doha Environmental Actions Project (DEAP).
