The Santa Aguila Foundation has launched SandKids.org, a website focused on coastal issues specifically designed for younger audiences.
Through character driven and engaging storytelling, this newly launched site seeks to reinforce the natural curiosity and awe that all children have about their physical world, to impart knowledge and wonder, while also inspiring and empowering them act in environmentally conscious ways.
Children will join the SandKids: Sunny, Aguila, Lily, Skylar and Poppy, on coastal adventures full of discovery. The first episode of Sand Tales, “From the Mountain to the Sea” is available to view now.
Additional episodes will follow, and the plan is to create an online library of multilingual and audio-accessible resources that foster a love and connection to the coast that promotes a healthy sense of belonging and encourages sustainable practices and conservation efforts.
“In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught…”
– Baba Dioum, 1968
