“The children in our team loved the opportunity to clean up our school grounds and the adjoining park. They learnt that that rubbish would likely end up in the local river if they didn't end up doing anything about it. They are more inspired to help out with reducing rubbish at our school now, or to help pick up rubbish that has been dropped. Thanks!”
