Partnering for a cleaner and healthier community
Every year for Mandela Day our Scouts and Rovers implement service projects within our community. This year, 1st QwaQwa Scouts partnered with the 'Youth Policy Committee at the South African Institute of International Affairs' and 'Katleho private tutors' to facilitate a clean up at the Kgolathuto Secondary School.
Under the leadership of Scouter Lebo Tsiu, Scouts and partners came together to clean in and around the Kgolathuto Secondary School. "Our Scouts cleaned up the areas outside of the school's fence. It was very dirty and a lot of work but the Scouts soon saw the impact of their hard work. It felt good to give back and partner with local organisations to raise awareness about the importance of clean schools for our personal health and safety."
"We learnt that if papers or plastics are littered, we must pick it up. Even if you did not litter. it doesn't mean you don't need to pick it up to create a cleaner and safer environment for others. Especially in schools, we need to keep them clean so young people can learn and we can help them avoid illnesses", says Lebo.
