Excursions

Yeah, I know that some of you have found museums and boring teaching tours and loved outgoing trips more like a hiking expedition or visit a sanctuary or just camping fire, playing different games while you have Sung and dancing at night. But I bet nothing from your travels on the ground led to something that the children of Yue Ming School lived. Curious a lot? Read and discover for yourself.

Educate young people

Educating the Youth - Lost at Sea
Everything dates back to March 27, 2018, when a group of fifth graders attended a conference on the pollution of harmful effects on the beaches and oceans of their island and around the world. The students of Yue Ming primary school, Taiwan, had gathered to learn from their environmental education teacher Park Lee. But soon their cleaning campaign would take an unexpected turn.

Sensitization

The primary objective of adopting such a session with children was to raise awareness of the protection of marine life against non-degradable waste such as plastic bags and floating bottles in the ocean. Although they are all enthusiastic about this expedition, one of the students would discover an object that was certainly much more than a piece of waste.

A small effort goes a long way

Combing the Beach - Lost at Sea

Students left for a cleaning tour with their teacher Park Lee as expected. They targeted the beach closest to their school to try to clean the shores and show students how many things can be because of human ignorance. Field excursions are much better while addressing such problems instead of sitting inside a classroom and watching a presentation on the screen because students get the real scenario that helps them to better understand things. Also not to mention that they are very pleasant and fun.

Milling

Combing the Beach - Lost at Sea

Small environmentalists arrived at the beach equipped with garbage bags, sun hats and their school uniforms to do the job. Students have been divided into subgroups, assigned to different parts of the range allowing them to completely clean the beach. It was a tedious task but they fired with pleasure and smile on their faces. However, their happy faces would soon change and would look at surprise when they discover a particular object.

What do we have here?

During the search, one of the children has found an unknown object that certainly did not look like a basket. It was quite heavy and hard. The particular object looked like a rock as it was covered with barnacles and the other side had a screen locked in a plastic box that made it difficult to identify what it was exactly. When students could not understand it, they headed for their teacher, Park Lee, to help them identify their exotic discovery.




Not such a particular object after all
Camera Case - Lost at Sea

Park Lee took a closer look before cleaning the barnacles of the unusual object. After removing some of the barnacles, it appeared to all that the unusual object was only a sealed case of a camera. But it was not an empty case and the reason it was so heavy was that there was a Canon G12 camera that contained there. "We thought it was broken, but by chance, spilled a barn through the case and found a button to open the case," said Lee.

Speculation

An Amazing Discovery - Lost at Sea

The seal of the protective case was intact but was it just enough to save the camera? He had to bear strong waves and currents and other forces that are in the body of the water, which would certainly have made difficult because the case remains sealed all that. Or if it was not the case, perhaps a local would have lost here. Among all these speculations, the truth, which would soon be disclosed.

Bodyguard

All credits go to the waterproof business, it protected the camera from the seawater and kept it intact as well as in a good physical condition. By the appearance of the plastic case, it was right to say that the camera must be there at the beach for a long time. However, despite its good physical condition, the question remained; Has he worked as well?

Light, camera, action!

The curious but excited students tried to turn the camera on and when they touched the power button, to their surprise, he was lit and that he had enough battery energy. In addition, there were hundreds of photos stored in his memory card that always worked at his best. He did not take a lot of time lee to understand that this camera had an interesting story and a story to tell ...

The ethics of everything

Full Memory Card of Photographs - Lost at Sea

The students will return it to the classroom but the question always remained unanswered - what to do with the camera? Pass through the images of the camera from a stranger struck as opposed to the ethics in Lee, but it was the only thing they could do if they found the owner of this camera. "Some children thought we had won the camera and could keep for ourselves. Others suggest that we should try to find the owner - and we all sat all to think about how to do that. "Lee said, but in one case to do the latter, they had to go through the images.

The first index

Girl Scuba Diving - Lost at Sea

Park Lee with his students decided to browse the pictures and they discovered that the last photo clicked on the camera was dated September 7, 2015. It was a picture of a woman who had clicked on closed diving during the dive Marine. The photo did not help them a lot to identify where it plunged and its dive combination had no clue that could help discern the location. So they started looking for more photos.




The face of everything

While they started scrolling the photos, they finally saw a picture with a face in it. Just like the previous picture, it was a visual of a lady plunged under a body of water. They assumed that the woman of the photo must be the owner of the camera, but they were not sure yet. Although speculation is still activated, they would soon discover who belonged to this camera while more indices were about to contemplate.

A reef

Looking at the images they had recovered from here now, Lee and his students perceived that this lady with other divers plunged through a kind of reef and she captured these hypnotant pictures at the time of her experience. At this point, the students were empathic to the woman they thought of being the owner of the camera, thinking how terrible he would have been for her to lose his camera and memories she had contained in the pictures.

A lightweight festival

Light Festival - Lost at Sea

This photo was captured there is almost a month of diving, could she say that the woman was on vacation when she lost her camera? The aisles of these images were unknown and the place where the woman traveled to stay has remained a mystery. Although it is something Lee deemed against ethics, digging more photos was the only way to solve this mystery.

A Japanese fishery

When Lee and his students progressed in the next picture, they were evolving by what they had seen. It was an image of a fish restaurant that had Japanese letters registered on the screen. The image was clicked on July 30, 2015, which clearly indicated that this woman should be in Japan on the day of this clicked picture. But the question was how did the camera have in Taiwan?

An aquarium?

And when they did, they hit an image of illuminated dolphins dated July 30, 2015, the same day on which the woman had visited Japanese fishing.

Something is ladle

It was a fishing pond and a visit to that would cost 1,000 yen per hour. It was as clear as a crystal that a room does not captivate an image of such ponds. Lee and his students still examined the place on the basis of the photographs and attracted a conclusion that the woman must have traveled to the island of Ishigaki.
