Mangaf Beach Clean Up

BuYousef — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:03:11 +0000

Mangaf Beach was affected by an oil spill and has since received some attention. It was being regularly cleared over the past few weeks by KNPC. The final touches, which were by no means a small task, were carried out by a group of volunteers who organised themselves to be there for three hours last Saturday. Do please remember: the weather only started getting better this week, so the heat was also there with them! I was unfortunately unable to join (my sincere apologies) and I hope to be there next time.

On behalf of anyone reading this post, and indeed everyone benefiting from a clean beach, I want to thank Yuri Lipkov for organising the clean-up, and Yan Liu for keeping me informed. The group photo above is by Mr Akbar (KNPC) – Thank you.

The next clean-up is planned for down the road, Mahboula Beach on Saturday 30th October 2010 7am-10am.

Hilton Facebook Group

I came across this Facebook group for users of the Hilton in Mangaf. Whilst it doesn’t have much information of events, it does have a fun feel and there are many members. It hasn’t been updated for some time – but they may post some interesting news/information about the place.

Check it out by clicking here.

A gentleman named Bu Nawaf called Scope TV yesterday (I just saw the repeat) and warned about Mangaf. I fully agree with him when he talked about the many rental apartments in the middle of residential areas. The particular example he gave is in front of my house. I wouldn’t mind it so much if families move in – even with the traffic/parking problems. But what if it becomes a camp?!

He offered to take Scope around the area to show them the shops in Aziziya – which he compared to Khaitan and Jileeb. I think it will become better with the new co-op there. I hope!

I’m very pleased to hear someone caring about the area and warning about potential problems – seeking change.

Bu Nawaf – if there is anything I can do to help, please email me.
