Land of Oz embraces diversity on Mandela Day
While the Cubs entertained the local children with games and fun activities, some of the older Scouts and parents tackled some of the most pressing problems facing the small community creche and the adjacent soccer field.
All the accumulated litter in the area was cleared and a skip was hired to remove it. The goal posts on the soccer field were repaired and replaced and a few wooden benches were installed alongside the field.
The children from the Cubs and Scouts group also brought along donations of food, clothing and garden tools for the community.
Spokesperson for the group, Gary Pienaar said it was important for them to support the Mandela Day initiative as service to the community was a key element in the Scouting programme.
