Benoni Media was born out of a deep-rooted desire to bridge the gap in community reporting, ensuring that every important event and happening in and around our vibrant community gets the spotlight it deserves. On Saturday, November 28th, we had the privilege of attending an event that perfectly embodies our mission – a day of creativity, community togetherness, and the tireless efforts of Clean Projects in making Benoni, a cleaner and more beautiful place.
Clean Projects: The Heart of Benoni’s Transformation
Clean Projects, a remarkable organisation operating right here in Benoni, has been tirelessly cleaning up our community, cleaning up where the municipality has failed. Their dedication to this cause is awe-inspiring, and their efforts are a testament to the power of community-driven change. Through their ongoing work, they have been instrumental in transforming our local area into a more aesthetically pleasing and hygienic environment.
A School Mural Competition for the Ages
The event that brought our community together on that beautiful Saturday was a school mural competition, organised by Clean Projects, hosted at Wordsworth High School. The premise was simple yet profound – schools from the area would compete by painting murals on sections of the long wall at Wordsworth High. What made this competition unique was not just the creative talent on display, but the spirit of camaraderie that enveloped the entire event.
Benoni Media Goes Live
As Benoni Media, we were honoured to be a part of this inspiring event. We went live, capturing the vibrant atmosphere as we spoke to the participating schools’ art classes and teachers about their creations. Each mural had a story, a message, and a unique artistic expression behind it, and it was a joy to showcase their thoughts and talents.
Community Safety and Support
Safety is paramount, and we were heartened by the dedication of local private security firms and the numerous volunteers who worked tirelessly to direct traffic, ensuring a secure environment for all attendees. It was a testament to the sense of unity and responsibility that thrives within our community.
The Iconic Clean Projects Tractor and Trailer
Clean Projects added a touch of fun and excitement to the event by bringing their iconic tractor and trailer to provide the kids with thrilling rides. The excitement on the children’s faces as they embarked on these rides showed the enduring positive impact Clean Projects has on our community.
A Continuation of Creativity
For those who couldn’t make it on that memorable Saturday, or for those who wanted to complete their murals, there’s good news. This coming Saturday, November 4th, the mural painting festivities will continue. It’s an opportunity for everyone to come together again and create more beautiful works of art that will adorn our community.
A Day of Community Togetherness
What we witnessed on November 28th was a testament to the power of community togetherness. As cars drove down Great North Road, passersby couldn’t help but hoot and wave, acknowledging the creativity and unity on display. It was a day that made our community even more beautiful and showcased the incredible potential that lies within us when we come together.
Kudos to Clean Projects
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Clean Projects for hosting this incredible event and for their unwavering commitment to transforming Benoni into a cleaner, more beautiful place. Their vision and dedication inspire us all, and we look forward to many more such events in the future.
Benoni Media stands proudly at the forefront of community reporting, and we’re committed to continuing to celebrate events like this one. It’s our mission to ensure that the remarkable efforts of organisations like Clean Projects, the creativity of our schools, and the unity of our community are given the recognition they truly deserve. Together, we can make Benoni an even better place to live, and we’re excited to be a part of this journey.
