EXTREME MAKE OVER little cato manor: The results








At the end of the project we had made a play area, chalk drawing walls and stage (using the side of a burnt down and abandoned house on the property), three vegetable gardens growing various plants according to the amount of shading and sun they recieved in the day, and a compost heap. We also managed to level a lot of the land in an attempt to alleviate water collecting and causing stench and disease, we used broken down rubble to help drain rain water and painted shadows of community members of the walls leading from the road to the settlement. Lastly we transformed the 60 tons of unrecycled trash into a lawned mini mountain which acted as a space for the children to play as well as a marker for 'Little Cato Manor'.
