The Jujurha Preschool children, under the watchful eyes of their teachers, collected litter as their service to the community on Nelson Mandela’s 93rd birthday. In a village where there is no municipal refuse removal system, litter spoils the beautiful landscape, especially around the spaza shops. The children filled 3 large bags which were then returned to the Jujurha Education Centre where it is sorted and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Washing hands afterwards reinforced all the routines practised daily at school.
Participation in national events is an important aspect of education in remote villages such as Nqileni where communities have been marginalised for so long and we therefore welcome every opportunity for the youngest members to demonstrate to their families the importance of celebrating, with the rest of the world, the birthday of a man who grew up not far from here, in a village not very different from ours.
This sounds amazing! Thank you for keeping a part of our world clean – and celebrating Nelson Mandela’s birthday. – Georgie van Heerden, Herschel Girls School.

This sounds fabulous its good they are helping to clean the enviroment because when older they can do this but involve more people and clean bigger areas this is a great idea for celebrating Madiba’s birthday. (:
This project is really amazing ! It would be wonderful if the whole school did something like that and clean up all the litter in our area. You should continue this because as they say, it begins with you

I am so gad that our future generation is helping to clean up the country, as all South Africans should be doing. I am so proud to be a South African when my fellow South Africans are like the teachers at Jujurha Preschool. I wish I could come and help you give to the educationly unpreviliaged. Maybe one of them is going to be a great man like Nelson Mandela, we can only hope. God Bless
