Our team of environmental heroes in Gugulethu is so committed to cleaning up their hood that they get together to do a clean-up every month! On 27 March the youth were joined by some neighbors to clean up a walkway that they use to get to school. Despite the warm weather and hard work, everyone kept a positive attitude. 85 bags of rubbish were removed and the pathway looked much better after they were finished with their hard work!
After – a clear path to school!
On 1 May the environmental champions gathered once again to clean up a park bordering the community garden in Gugulethu. It was a depressing site before they got stuck in, with loads of building rubble, which is the most difficult dumped waste to remove!
Before- so much rubble! After
By lunchtime the park was clear and 79 bags of rubbish were removed! The team then retreated to Gogo’s kitchen for some well-earned chicken curry.
A job well done! Lunch at Gogo’s Kitchen
