Clean & Green Drive A Mace Springs Toastmasters Club Community Initiative
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
Mace Springs Toastmasters Club, Kuwait, organized a Clean & Green drive at the Salmiya Garden on Friday, 25th Nov 2022.
Green spaces like parks, gardens, lawns not only give a soothing effect to eyes, but also is an escape from the confinement of the four walls of our homes, offices, public places like malls and shopping destinations. It also helps us rejuvenate and refresh our minds, bodies, and leaves a positive impact on our lifestyles.
The Clean and Green initiative was organized at the Salmiya garden, a green space for a large community to escape and enjoy the greens.
Government agencies make a lot of efforts to maintain the greenery and cleanliness of this much needed space for a sustainable city life. To appreciate their efforts, Mace Springs Toastmasters felt the duty, to contribute and give back to the society in their own humble way. To meet with their community service goals, Mace Springs Toastmasters organized this initiative to clean up the garden and spread awareness among the users of the garden.
Substantial number of people had gathered under the bright blue sky and were enjoying the green space. You could see people walking, jogging, playing with their kids, exercising, having food with their families, and relaxing on the grass. It was a sight to see people having fun and enjoying themselves.
As the cleaning crew had a holiday on Friday, it was a great opportunity for Mace Springs Toastmasters to be of service. The garden was littered with food waste, plastic, and other disposables, and the club wanted to make a difference. The members all enthusiastic with their hand gloves, garbage bags started moving around slowly and picking the waste. As they did the activity you could see smiles and help rendered by children, youngsters, and adults. It felt so great to spread awareness the friendly way.
