Help Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkids Preschool with 10 volunteers for helping villagers build raised beds to grow vegetables
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
The school has a vegetable garden but the community does not. We have made several attempts because there a number of people very keen not only to supply their own families but the small shop in Betty's Bay village to earn a little cash. Two issues need to be overcome before we can think of trying again, however. We need to raise the beds so a) the dogs can't scratch in the beds and b) we can enrich the soil in the beds. It's highly unlikely we'll be able to find the money for bricks so we're looking for a cheaper alternative here. We are in urgent need of advice please as well as someone with know-how to take charge of the job. We can supply tea and coffee and plenty of helpers.
