Flash Trash!
Reduce, reuse & recycle –an exhibit of desirable things made from trash.
What do local businesses throw away? What do you throw away? What things do you collect when you go out? Shopping bags? Boxes? Plastic bottles? When you do something, do you create waste? Does the waste have any potential value? Recycle & reuse more, pay less!!
Shirley Awe from KDU, firmly believes that care and understanding are the most important elements when guiding students. Once students trust you, there will be space for them to grow.
Shirley and her students will have a recycling stall with demonstrations on turning trash to beautiful and saleable items. All their proceeds will be going to charity
