Affiliations
- I regularly participate in a community project that was previously called Adopt a Spot but has since been changed to love my Mokopane. This is where, as a community different organizations within the town maintain different areas of the town. The area in which I live, I fall under the area that Destiny Alive takes care of. So, I along with the members of Destiny alive come together and take clean the rubbish that is around the jungle gyms opposite a primary school as well plant flowers around the agriculture center and decorate the entrance with pebbles.
