Desert clean-up• My Students at the ESG male
college volunteered to take part in a community project, which I drove, aimed at restoring and securing an area in the desert used by the community for recreation purposes.
• An open reservoir posing a danger, was secured, litter were picked up and disposed of, and a fun activity for the volunteers was held afterwards as gratitude for their service.
