Yesterday, I visited a local dump site with my partner Michelle and community coordinator, Winston.
We will be launching a community clean up project in the area surrounding the site on 15th November 2011.
We spoke to the locals living and working on the site, not only we they amused that I wanted the plastic bottles, roofing and grain bags, they were impressed with the idea that I would teach them how to create products out of the rubbish.
I’m so excited to start working in this community.

There are very few people in the world to evoke such strong feelings of peace, love and acceptance as Nelson Mandela. With our former president been in Milpark Hospital, many of us are left thinking “what if he doesn’t get better?’.
I feel that everyone is entitled to their privacy, especially during a personally trying time. With the world’s media centred on Madiba and his condition, I want to send a message to Tata and his family – we wish you a speedy recovery and whatever the outcome, we owe were we are to your strength and wisdom.
Get Well Tata Madiba

January 26, 2011 · Filed under About Us, Community Projects, Contact Us, Where is the Love? · Tagged 2011, art, beads, children, colour, craft, donation, east london, eastern cape, eco-friendly, economic recession in south africa, educate, fundraiser, global economic summitt, info, inspiration, junk, local, love, make a difference, painting, proudly south african, recycle, recycled, recycled inc, recycled material, recycledinc, recycling, rsa, social development in south africa, south african, za
The recent recession hit many of us in South Africa hard. High numbers of jobs were lost as countless companies closed their doors. My husband’s family business was hard hit aswell, with blessing, they have remained open, however our budget has become exceptional tight.
A radio discussion this morning got me thinking, I don’t like many ideas our government has on health, housing, social development and environmental issues – I won’t even start on economic issues. I also feel we talk more than we do. My activities in the local community help me to give back and do my bit for our society, however I’m left with, “what can I do to take hold of my family’s future in these dull times?”
I feel very strongly that we should all have a skill, hobby or pastime that we enjoy doing. Why not use that skill or hobby to create a safety net for you to fall financially? We don’t have to be the next Martha Stewart, but we can make small nest eggs for ourselves. My thinking is that not only will it be an excuse for you to enjoy something that you love doing, but you can then become a little bit more independent from the government. This way we become more in control of our future and less reliant on government to create jobs for us.
So if you don’t like what you hear coming from the Global Economic Summit, don’t feel despondent, you can do something about it! We can also use this as part of our children’s lives to teach them about hard work and how there is no substitute for it.
Good luck on your independent missions and let me know how it goes…

There are a few things in my life that have made life easier and more fun. If you think I’m completely crazy, I don’t blame you, but it is the simple things that make me a happy, happy mommy!
- My Russel-Hobbs bread maker
- My dishwasher
- A butterfly mop
- Watching Take Home Nanny
- Dr Christopher Green’s Toddler Taming
- Old plastic ice cream containers
- Masking tape
- Hand-me-down fabric, linen and home decor
- A bedtime routine, every day of the week
- A week-day morning routine
- Doing the day’s washing every evening
Linen the same colour as the bedrooms for each of the room- And learning to be more strict with the “Before you leave a room, tidy it”rule
This might help someone, after watching some episodes of Take Home Nanny, I can’t help but feel like we are doing something right with our kids. Although I still find the whining very annoying and it works on my nerves to no end.
Have a happy recycling day!
Hayleigh
