Heading up the Lomsa, Craft from Waste Project is a powerhouse of a woman called Yandiswa Mazwane. Yandiswa started out as a beach cleaner and now manages a project that produces desirable sculptures and homeware products from litter that is washed up on our beaches. Most of the products are made from non-recyclable plastics. Who would have thought that plastic bottle tops could be fashionable items?
Yandiswa has just received an order for 450 cow heads from a company in Paris and Lomsa is therefore URGENTLY LOOKING for detergent bottles in bright colours. i.e. VANISH, MR, MUSCLE, CAR WASH, HARPIC, STA SOFT ETC.
If you can help - please drop off your detergent bottles at the Lomsa shop at KEAG, Imhoff Farm, Kommetjie. (They also recycle glass, plastic and cans. Newspapers and cardboard can be taken to Kommetjie primary School.)
This project supports up to 16 previously disadvantaged people at a time, many of whom are illiterate or disabled. Thank you so much.
Please call YANDISWA MAZWANE/SHERRI BELL for more information

Have a good weekend,
Sally
