Congratulations to Matthew Rees (B Block, Baines) who recently started an incredible service project in Lidgetton village, helping to clean the Lions River. Engaging local community members and fellow Baines boys, as well as partnering with local councillors, Duzi-uMngeni Conservation Trust (DUCT) and Love Howick, Matt designed an inventive project with a "No-Value" Litter Boom, constructed using discarded plastic bottles designed to be effective but worthless, thereby deterring theft and ensuring it remains in the river.
In Matt’s words “By focusing on the basics, litter, water health, and education, we can ensure the Lions River remains a clean, safe, and healthy resource for generations to come.”
Several staff supported Matthew in his endeavours including our Development team helping Matt to set up a ‘GoFundMe’ for the project, an ongoing fund for helping to pay for resources.
One of our staff members in charge of service, Mrs Peta Roberts added ‘This is Matthew Rees’ service honours project. He is to be congratulated on an excellent project that we throw our full support behind. I’m so proud of Matt and thank you so much too, Mr le Cordeur for supporting Matthew throughout. This really is an incredible project!”
