Going green for Gandhi Walk
This annual walk in Lenasia has become an iconic fun walk event on the Joburg and Lenasia social calendars.
THE Gandhi Walk Committee is excited to announce that its primary focus for its Annual Gandhi Walk, which will take place on Sunday, April 15, is Going Green.
This annual walk in Lenasia has become an iconic fun walk event on the Joburg and Lenasia social calendars. Besides the thousands who turn up to walk each year, it is known to attract many dignitaries, celebrities, government officials, SA brand ambassadors and several beauty title holders, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself chatting and walking next to any one of them on this walk.
The Gandhi Walk Committee is ecstatic that it will be going green for 2018, with several steps already being taken and actions being planned to turn this one into Joburg’s greenest walk, says Gandhi Walk chairman Amit Parbhucharan.
PRO Mahendra Modi says, “The Gandhi Walk Committee aims to champion social change and promote community awareness of going green by launching #Gandhi Walk REWOW Campaign, which will see the 33rd Gandhi Walk emphasising ‘green’ aspects relating to recycling, energy, waste, oxygen and water. It wants to encourage its walkers and the community at large, especially the youth, to change attitudes and behaviours towards climate change and greener living by embracing those famous words of Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’. In addition the Gandhi Walk Committee will be hosting a green expo and plans to expand its partnership with other community organisations and the Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital.”
