Sasha Olsen,a fourthgrader at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale,is working on releasing a book this summer to illustrate how the state of the ocean affects children.
The 10yearold went on a trip last summer with her family to Vietnam and Japan.She was horrified at the ocean's pollution levels and dying sea animals.Back home,she grew even more disturbed after learning about the ocean conditions in South Florida.She sought help from her cousin Narmina Aliyev.Together,they started a nonprofit group—Iwantmyoceanback,in October.
Originally,the group started small,with friends coming together on the weekends to clean the beaches in Bal Harbour.Recently,however,it has hosted events to raise funds for beach cleanups and donate to conservation groups.The nonprofit group is also trying to broaden its base by tapping into the social media.
Sasha has started a channel where she posts videos from events and has begun a web series called Table Talks.In it,she interviews people from different professions about the ocean.After the interview,she and her guest will create a painting,signed by the guest,which will be auctioned(拍卖) off to raise money to donate to conservationbased organizations.
Jencarlos Canela,a popular Cuban American singer and telenovela star,was one of Iwantmyoceanback's first followers and Sasha's first guest.Canela,who has 3.4 million followers on Instagram,posted about the experience.“Sasha,you can count on me from now on for anything and congratulations on the work you're doing to keep our ocean clean.You are so special and very talented!” he wrote.
Sasha and Aliyev hope to extend their work to neighboring cities such as Hollywood and Miami Beach.“We really want to make ourselves visible and accessible to all,” said Aliyev,the nonprofit group's vice president.
