Seven volunteers gave their time to clear drains and clean a shared neighbourhood space in Yaounde.
On 18 November 2023, seven volunteers came together in Yaounde for a shared act of care for their community. Led by project manager Eric Njende, the team spent the morning clearing drains and cleaning a busy neighbourhood junction.
Working side by side, volunteers removed waste and mud from water canals and cleaned the surrounding street. Their work helped restore the flow of water through the cleared channels and left the shared space cleaner.
Community care takes many forms. On this morning, it took the form of hands at work, time freely given and people choosing to look after a place used by others every day.
Five Smiles Africa volunteers were joined by two volunteers from another organisation. Together, they turned a common purpose into visible action.
We are grateful to everyone who took part. Their service is a reminder that looking after a neighbourhood is also a way of looking after one another.
