Miss Earth SA Ashanti Mbanga visited the residents of the Epilepsy SA centre in Geduld on Friday, to plant two trees.
Ashanti was accompanied by Ella Bella, the ambassador of Miss Earth SA, who assists her with the publicity of Miss Earth.
“I am here to bring awareness on environmental issues. A lesson I have learned from Sappi, who has a good relationship with Epilepsy SA, is trees are the lungs of the earth,” she said.
She added building relationships, like the one between Sappi and the centre, are a working network to help build the environment.
Although Sappi’s employee wellness committee visits the centre on a regular basis, Friday’s visit was different.
Other staff members from Sappi and their general manager Matt Spence accompanied them to support Ashanti in the planting of the trees in aid of Arbour Day.
“Trees have many uses such as providing paper, furniture and many more,” says Matt.
The two trees were planted to give much needed shade for the residents next to the swimming pool.
