School Young Farmers Club- weapon to fight povertyJoe Matimba
Green Africa Foundation is all about empowering and developing young people to become more responsible in developing their own country without compromising the future generation.
We believe one thing - that together we create our community.
Our aim is simple: to globally bring people, businesses and charities together and help provide access to discrete volunteering opportunities with existing charitable and volunteer organisations and where people can volunteer with their friends. In short, helping make volunteering an easy, fun and social activity. These sorts of activities could support anything from child cancer research, to the local tennis club, to environmental causes, to efforts to assist the underprivileged etc etc. They are all important and they all make a difference!
Since our inception in September 2012 we have grown to have 21 Chapters in 8 countries and thus our growth has been significant but are just the first steps towards realising our vision of making volunteering a global norm!
This 16-page magazine is a 3-month project that involves copywriters, all membership directors and printer vendors. I was asked to come up with a concept that involves family time, healthy living and interactive fun. I proposed the "Press Play" concept with the intention of encouraging families and individuals to restart activities they enjoy, like sports, exercise and family time. I wanted to incorporate an "App-like" look with elements to attract a younger audience as well as young parents who are looking to improve their family's lifestyle.

General Maintenance
Maintaining the Woodlands’ campus throughout
the year offers many challenges for our small staff,
and volunteer groups help tremendously with
keeping the Woodlands beautiful.
Projects include:
• Painting
• Raking leaves
• Weeding and planting flowers
• Deep cleaning
• And more!
Fall Festival &
Haunted Trail Decoration
Each October, the Woodlands transforms its
campus in preparation for the annual Fall
Festival. Fall Fest is free to the public and
offers an evening of fun with music, games,
food, activities, and our “not so scary” haunted
trail. Volunteer groups make this event
possible by helping prepare the campus and
cleaning up afterwards. Some groups even
host a section of the haunted trail, or work an
activity or game booth the night of Fall Fest!
Creativity welcome!
Rum Cake Fundraiser
Hundreds of volunteers assist the Woodlands
from October through December in our Rum and
Apricot Brandy Cake Sale. Volunteers join our
Food Services Manager in the kitchen to bake
delicious cakes which are sold throughout the
holiday season.

campus each year for the holidays.
