NPLD 2015 is in the books for the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse ONA. 2015 also marks the 20th annual for this event, and a great event it was.
Approximately 85 volunteers from the local community, Jupiter High School and local Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts participated in the early morning event. Volunteers retrieved approximately 200 lbs of trash - with many reporting how clean the mangroves and shoreline were compared with previous events. In addition, volunteers removed approximately 600 lbs of the parasitic lovevine, which improves both the ecosystem health and ascetics of the trails on site.

This image was taken for a not-for-profit that has changed its named, focus, and mission to KEZA.
Official Statement on Name Change
"Sisters of Rwanda has been in operation in Rwanda for 2.5 years. Our original mission was to “ensure justice, equality and economic opportunities for Rwanda’s most vulnerable women”. Over the years we have learned better how to serve this amazing country and the people that dwell within it. We came here to listen and to learn, and as part of the natural maturation of our organization, we have grown into KEZA. Simply put, KEZA is the result of a 2.5 year pilot project called Sisters of Rwanda. “KEZA is a people-inspired luxury fashion house based in Rwanda. We buy top quality fashion goods from non-profit development organizations, generate income for the poor and help to establish Africa’s position in the luxury fashion industry.”
We still work with the very same 43 women that helped build Sisters of Rwanda. And our vision has only strengthened and become more strategic. Sisters of Rwanda has grown up, and we are proud to present KEZA to the world. Welcome to KEZA, “Where ‘they’ become ‘we’”. "

Each year the girls eagerly look forward to filling box of goodies for Operation Christmas Child (OCC).
According to the OCC website, "Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes."
On Monday, the girls picked out items at Target that they felt a child of their age would either need or want.
Here they are sorting through the items and dividing them according to what box they will go into.
