Hi All 

Please bring your Company Gazebo along with a community-inspiring mindset to Pomona Art Wall next Tuesday at 9 am. A sponsor for drinking water and Pizza Snacks would be appreciated. Contact Sharon at +263 772 240 442. Set up before 8 am.

We are very fortunate to have people in our community who go out of their way to make good things happen. Sharon Hook is one such lady! About 15 years ago she decided to start organising clean-ups of shopping centres in Harare. Working with shop owners and regular visitors to each centre Sharon has, over the years arranged for Saturday morning cleanups in just about every mall in Harare.
 
Sharon also holds a monthly waste management meeting on the first Tuesday morning of every month at the Highlands Presbyterian Church. With the National Tree Planting Day coming up next week, Sharon has, this month, chosen to hold her event alongside the Pomona Art wall opposite the bus stop on Borrowdale Road by Sam Levy’s Village. 

In Addition, Sharon, under “Miracle Missions Clean & Green – Communities making a Difference and in Partnership with the City of Harare”, embarked on an Anti-Littering Illegal Campaign – with three main solutions: Clean Up, Placing Dustbins and adopting city land to beautify and maintain. 14 years from Oct 2010, Sharon asked for an inspection of the trees by the Forestry Commission and City Parks to safely relocate the birds.

Just over a year ago, Sharon arranged for the disposal of all of the unsightly Pine Trees opposite the bus stop. They were being used for all sorts of unsavoury purposes. This Tuesday will mark the start of a long-term project to set up a cycle path along the side of Borrowdale Road with Indigenous trees that will surely reintroduce the first truly “Leafy Suburb” in Harare. Clever barriers will be installed (See Photo) to prevent Kombis from using these cycle paths. 

City Parks will be giving a practical demonstration on how to Plant, Nurture and Protect Trees in your community. Energetic participants are welcome to pick up a shovel and help plant trees in specifically prepared holes at the sight. All day yesterday you might have noticed the bobcat clearing space there for the trees. It’s really going to be a fun event – make sure your company is there. Ciao Mike G.
