The Garbage Clean-Up Squad

Once upon a time in a tiny town, there were three kids named Tito, Chebet, and Kim. Their town was filled with garbage everywhere you looked.

Tito, being the oldest, had the idea to start a club called 'The Garbage Clean-Up Squad.' He wanted to save the environment and make their town clean and beautiful again.

Chebet, the youngest of the three, loved animals and knew that the garbage could harm them. She wanted to protect the animals and their homes.

Kim, the middle child, was really smart and loved solving problems. He wanted to figure out a way to stop people from throwing garbage everywhere.

The children started by organizing a community clean-up day. They went door to door, inviting their neighbors to join them in cleaning up the town.

During the clean-up day, the kids found a recycling center that was willing to take all the garbage they collected. They were so happy to find a way to recycle and reduce waste.
