On September 24, 2026, those of us who wanted to came to school wearing something with stripes—whether a T-shirt, socks, a sweatshirt, a sweater, a dress, or something similar. The reason was International Maritime Day, which called on us to recognize the work of seafarers and shipping professionals, while also drawing attention to challenges such as safety, reducing ship emissions, protecting the marine environment, and ensuring fair working conditions at sea. We, the children in the after-school club, also contributed our artwork to the call for protecting the marine environment and ensuring the sustainability of our planet.
