The Physical Rewards of Life

This is the reward of much hard work.  The Autotec foundation has done it again, another award to add to our achievements.  For us, the reward is not the award in itself, that is just the cherry on the cake, but in seeing how it affect the comunity at large, and how it affect the children in these schools.

Lowveld shines at the 22nd annual ETA awards

The ETA awards are a national competition that recognizes excellence in the field of energy efficiency.  There are 10 categories ranging from Industrial to Young designers.

I am thrilled to report that the Lowveld has walked away as the winner in the Community category, receiving a R30 000 cash prize, trophy and certificate.

In 2011, the Eskom Energy and Sustainability programme collaborated with the AutoTec foundation, SPAR and Greens Remade recycling in Nelspruit to assist 7 schools to start a recycling campaign to solve their Waste disposal problems as they receive no municipal services and burnt their waste. The seven schools are situated in the white River and Kabokweni community. They are Sakhile H.S, Inkhanyeti P.S, Tsembaletfu P.S, Khutsalani H.S, Embonisweni P.S, Sandzile P.S and Phatfwa H.S.

The recycling campaign is also a fund raising initiative for the schools.  With two years’ worth of data on the volumes sent for the schools and moneys earned, Louise Williamson entered the seven schools as a stand-alone project in the ETA awards, entitled” Community Recycling Solutions”, Energy savings through recycling using the Cradle to Cradle concept.  It is widely recognized that less energy is needed to manufacturing an item from recycled materials.

At the time of the entry, the seven schools have sent a total of 16 244kg of waste for recycling and saved 53 473.92 Kwh of energy.  The funds earned are used for various educational trips and other school related activities.

Special mention needs to be made of Mrs. Mathai and Charlotte Khoketswa of Sakhile H.S and Mr. Munyongani of Embonisweni P.S for assisting with the Judging presentations held In JHB on the 21 September and then attending the awards evening on the 15th November which was held at the Khayalami conference venue.

Thank you to all the stakeholders for your support, without which none of this would have been possible.
