Cleaning up in Munsieville


How hard can it be to say "Keep Munsieville Clean"? Thankfully picking up the rubbish was more straightforward as the Thoughtful Path volunteers and adults and children from Munsieville worked together recently to remove nearly 1400 bags of waste in a single morning. Unlike cities in Western Europe, there is no regular rubbish collection so waste just gets left around the township, leading to large piles of smelly, unhealthy rubbish everywhere.
However, it was songs and high spirits all round as the Thoughtful Path and the Community Works Programme teamed up to tackle the problem of litter and rubbish in the township, to create a clean and safe environment for children. The community are hoping to turn this into a regular event, and encourage everyone to play their part in keeping the streets clean.
