Sisonke is a newly formed African Community group.
Are you a keen recycler and know the difference between Landfil 🟥, Recycling 🟨, and Composting 🟩 bins, then Sisonke would like to request your help for supervising our refuse station.
Training will be provided if you are not familiar with the above.
The celebration takes place on this Saturday, 25 May from 11am to 4pm at La Mere Lounge, New Plymouth Raceway.
Each shift will be 2 hours, but if you only have an hour to spare then that would be good too.
Come and enjoy all things African. Free food to volunteers, $5 to public. Be adventurous and try out different African cuisines on the day. There will also be African entertainment and games and much, much more.
