The volunteer event will now be held at the St. Peters Community Garden, which is located next to the Hillside Christian School in St. Peters. Volunteers will help with the clean up and green house construction for the development of the St Peters Community Garden.
A total of 13 AUC volunteers will participate in the exercise. The clean up will be from 9am sharp to 12:30pm, at which time lunch will be served and a sharing will be done. Ms Sandra Cheung of The Tzu Chi Foundation will provide snacks and lunch all Vegan based. There will be ample water and Ice Tea made from fresh herbs from Wyatte’s home Garden to keep everyone hydrated.
Tzu Chi volunteers, who are participating in the exercise will assemble at the Tzu Chi Foundation office at 8:30am -sharp and together head to the location.
AUC volunteers will be kindly asked to meet at the Hillside Christian School to be led to the location of the volunteer effort.
There are four areas that AUC students and Tzu Chi volunteers will work on for the Community Action Day: The four areas are:

(2) Farming area ground preparation: Removing all rock and grass from potential crop areas (Group leader is Denicio’s uncle assisted by a Tzu Chi volunteer)
(3) Painting: Painting of palette fence and green house water sealing (Group leader to be appointed)
(4) General Clean up: Removing unwanted grass, weeds and pruning and beautification of the surrounding fruit trees (Group leader is Denicio assisted by a Tzu Chi volunteer)
Note: All volunteers are asked to kindly wear strong covered footwear and long pants and proper tops to protect skin from poison ivy, “stinging nettle” and other scrubs.
Please also walk with items such as hats and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements of the weather as well as gloves, if you have any.
The green house construction area covers a 4,000sq meter span (1 acre).
