This week on Hit The Streets you will learn a new way to use your photography skills by combining them with an awesome initiative called #GiveSealifeAHand. Let's spread the word and the love and enjoy my conversation with Tòmas Tigchelaar-Lourenço's work!

Tomás’ Biography

I’m Tomás Tigchelaar Lourenço, a 27 year old half Portuguese half Dutch Civil Engineer born in Cascais, Portugal.

In December of 2017 I started @GiveSealifeAHand Cleanup movement on Instagram.

This movement started during a beach walk in Portugal when talking about ocean plastic pollution I said something like “if fish would have hands, this problem would have been long solved.”. Moments after, I looked at my hands and said I must give Sea life a hand. After a cleanup, I made a hand out of the trash I collected and tagged it #GiveSeaLifeAHand. Two years later I now have more than 150 hands from 95 different countries around the world and carried out 9 GiveSeaLifeAHand talks at primary schools in Portugal and Curaçao reaching over 300 kids with this message.

My motto is “Cleanups are the easy part, making them unnecessary is the difficult one.”

Therefore my goal is to have a picture of #GiveSeaLifeAHand hand from every country in the world and reach the youth with this message through school talks.
