Hundreds of kilos of garbage (glass, plastic, metal) were collected in the cleanup  by the Embassy staff and their Turkish friends (namely boardriders of METU), altogether around 30 people.  In the demo event some 25 first-timers, incl. children were able to try SUP - an easy, accessible and affordable watersport. Altogether, there were more then 50 participants in the event. A minute of silence was observed to mark the 20th anniversary of 11/9 2001 terrorist attacks."
