SULAIBIKHAT BEACH, Kuwait – Cleaning up the environment is one way to bring together people of different backgrounds for the sake of preserving the land they share.

For American volunteers, it’s just another day to work side by side with their host nation partners.

Volunteers from the United States military, embassy, Boy Scouts and Kuwait community members came together with the Kuwait Society for the Protection of Ani-mals and Their Habitat (K’S PATH) one last time for the season, to clean the Sulaibikhat Beach, Kuwait, April 1.
