Village SuperSpar Initiative

Over the past two months, we have organized two successful environmental initiatives in partnership with Spar and Kromme Enviro-Trust:

  1. Earth Day in April : Our U/15 boys came up with cool ideas on how to recycle a plastic packet , some ideas included, fishing bag , re-using the bag when you go shopping, making a plastic soccer ball and a very interesting one was a tie .
  2. Ideas for our Wall Paintings : Truus from Kromme Enviro led our U/15 boys through some creative ideas on doing environmental awareness messages through art work . We will be painting these on the walls in the sea vista sports field.

A special thanks to everyone involved, and to Spar for generously donating meals for the kids.
