Clean-up After Dark by Thuvakkam
Date: October 1st
Time: 9:00 p.m
With the city so busy during the day, many heritage locations cannot be cleaned without disturbing the daily routines. How about volunteers meeting after the city falls asleep and cleaning areas such as bus stops, post offices and school yards. By removing the posters and filth that has been accumulated for months, we give a coat of paint to the walls and a new sheen of life.
