The Royal St Andrews Hotel organised coffee training for eight of our members. First a day long training by Ciro in Gqeberha, followed by weekend practicals at the hotel.
Thanks to a generous donation we were able to add this injection moulder to our plastic shredder. Now we can make now products out of recycled plastic. The first product is a cellphone stand
We showcased our businesses at the Bathurst Agricultural Show and the Port Alfred Carnival. We used our trampoline, fencing demonstrations, and Manase’s snake to attract visitors.
We’ve upgraded our kitchen. Last year, we moved the workshop to Room 13 and received a donated stainless steel kitchen table. Now the kitchen is tiled. A big improvement in hygiene!
We went to Cape Town to the Amplify After School Symposium by The Learning Trust and picked up lots of new ideas and contacts. Inspired by the symposium we formed a collective of six local after-school organisations so that we can stand stronger together.
With the help of DeepSeek, we’ve redesigned this website using the latest technology. It not only looks modern, but also offers a user-friendly photo gallery and adjusts to different screen sizes, so it works well on both large computer screens and mobile phones.
With the help of donations we were able to buy a trailer. It's a very strong galvanised locally built trailer. It's a big step forward for our recycling and it helps in many other ways like taking luggage to retreats, moving our equipment and it's even helping other organisations like Rotary to hand out water-rollers to the community.
