Sam Bencheghib
“What’s it like to paddle down the most polluted river
in the world in a kayak made of plastic bottles?”

A Potluck & Politics event
at the LEPOCO Peace Center, 313 W. 4th St., (south) Bethlehem.

Sam Bencheghib, a junior a Lehigh University and a top tennis player, joined his brother, Gary (a film maker), in a highly successful environmental protection action in their home country, Indonesia, this past August. They used plastic (a kayak made of plastic bottles) and a river adventure down the most-polluted river in the world, to teach lessons on many levels (school children, those who live on the polluted Citarum River, media viewers, Facebook followers, and government officials) about what plastic pollution is doing to our world. Come hear Sam Bencheghib’s story.

Attendees are encouraged to bring food or drinks to share for the Potluck Dinner at 6 pm.
Discussion will start around 6:30 pm.
