support by the building’s trustees and management. Orlandi says the Water Awareness Day, which took place on Saturday 17 February, was highly successful. “The children started off by making water awareness posters at the clubhouse. The little ones each received a water-saving bucket containing sweets, a water bottle and a ruler. Prizes were also awarded to the kids for the best posters in their relevant age categories.
“We were very impressed with the participation of the City of Cape Town at this event, as they assisted with the activities and also brought along their mascot, “Manzi”, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed,” Orlandi says. He says the children and residents all joined in a water-saving march around the complex. The march was led by the complex’s chairperson, Justin Hardcastle, and the mascot. V To page 2.
