This mornings clean-up in Ghent was a great success with over 20 adults and children volunteering. After the clean-up we met at Beechwood Park to enjoy some Popsicles and shared ideas about future events. It was a great group with great motivation. Below are pictures, one before starting off and the other is a group photo including the collection of trash picked up.
