Dibanisa Shortilisted for Beyond Sport Award
We are very proud to announce that our Dibanisa Project has been shortlisted for the Beyond Sport Awards: Sport for the Environment Award.
Last Thursday, we joined the Dyer Island Conservation Trust to do a beach clean-up. We met at the Great White House where Alouise gave the boy an introduction to what they were going to do. We then walked down to the beach, where the boys were divided into two groups. They got three bags: a bag for fishing line, a bag for recyclables and a bag for general waste.
The two groups collected rubbish in the area next to the Kleinbaai harbour, where all of the shark boats were launched. Although the beach looked ‘clean’, the boys still found a variety of items like cooldrink cans, milk bottles and a variety of other items.
At the end of the walk, the boys went through their rubbish to count how many of each item they had they collected, which was then recorded on a data card.
The kids got a few minutes to play in the park and then we headed back to the Great White House, where they enjoyed cooldrink and snacks!
Thanks to Alouise and her team for hosting us to Natasha, Erika, Felix and Mzianda for helping with the beach clean-up!
