Volunteer

Getting my hands dirty!

Volunteering in the recent spring planting day at the Greenhouse Project was not only a fun day spent with people of all walks of life interested in the environment but I learnt so much that I will implement at home. I highly recommend spending time at future events!

School Pupil

Soweto Primary

We were taught so many new things, from what trash can be recycled, to planting my own vegetables...we even got to play with worms!

Join us at our next community day for some healthy work and valuable contribution
