Joel’s Community Service 2023

Day 1

We arrived at the wild fig cafe near the liesbek river. We started off by getting into pairs after Joel told us that whichever pair collected the most rubbish got a chocolate (and because of the buddy system..).

W.e started off our trek by walking along the side of the river and picking up what we could find. In a short while we moved across the river to where most of the rubbish was and started on that side. When we were almost done we sat down and started on our lunch. We finished picking everything up and moved down the river. We finished up quite quickly.

Day 2

We arrived at the Wild Fig cafe near the Liesbeek river. This time with some other patrol members. We started on the same route as the first day going along the river and then crossing it. Crossing wasn’t as easy this time because the night before it had rain so we tried to walk across our, shoes sank into the mud. This time we made it a bit further going all the way around the river to the other side with about 30 minutes till the community service was finished we went back to go to one last area when it started to rain. Although there was rain we continued on until the community service was over when while waiting for our parents we watched reels on Laura’s phone.
