About Us
Our Story
We are a group of Grade 11 students from MGC New Life Christian Academy with a shared passion for making a difference. As part of our Social Impact Project, we are committed to helping the environment through meaningful action that goes beyond the classroom. Our goal is not only to contribute to the restoration and protection of our natural world, but also to create a lasting legacy that reflects our school’s values of stewardship, service, and care for God’s creation. By working together, we hope to inspire others in our community to take part in building a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.
