Hanli was a featured Category Designer in our Playing Bigger Water Anthology short film series we released in late 2019. In her profile we documented her category — Clean Ocean Advocate — and her journey to use deep connections to drive interest in preserving clean and healthy ocean environments.
She recently released her 2018 and 2019 impact reports for her I Am Water Foundation. Based in Capetown, South Africa, Hanli takes disadvantaged kids — many of whom do not swim — and introduces them to the beautiful beaches and seas that surround the place they call home. The point is to develop a deep connection to the ocean and a lifetime of respect for clean, sustainable ecosystems.
Her ethos is simple: You protect what you love. And it's working.
