Sasha Olsen,a fourth-grader 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 10-year-old 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,I want my ocean back,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 (拍賣) off to raise money to donate to conservation-based organizations.
Jencarlos Canela,a popular Cuban American singer and telenovela star,was one of I want my oceanback'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.

1.There was once a captain.jye.ai loved money so much that he cheated(欺騙)his sailors(水手)at the end of every voyage(遠航)and took their wages(工資).
On the last day of one voyage,the ship was in a small port.It was winter time,and these a was very cold,so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship.But if he comes out before the sun appears,I shall get his wages."
