The nonprofit, which conducts cleanups and e-waste events in San Jose, is helping a town in Kenya with a major trash problem.

In addition to a multiday cleanup, Imamura says they’ll create a high school stewardship team, who will be in charge of reminding the community about the importance of taking care of the environment. Imamura and Rogier are bringing along more than carryon luggage — transporting canvas bags of gloves, litter sticks, first aid kits, hand sanitizer and volunteer vests.
