WAMTechnology 20 Year Celebration

To show our gratitude for being able to participate in maintaining the health and environmental well-being of our country, Africa and globally the past two decades, WAMTechnology organized a Walk & Talk for learners from Kylemore High School and Anna Foundation. We used the occasion as an opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to some of our clients, friends, employees and the community for their loyal support as we celebrate our twentieth year in business.

We celebrated the occasion by giving back to the community. During the event, we aimed to educate and spread awareness among participants and community members, particularly to the youth, about the importance of community health, education, language and water and sanitation.

The day started early on 9 October 2015 at Boschendal Estate where the learners  each received a bag with a water bottle, hat, pens, pencils, books, pencil cases, notebook, memory stick, lanyard, ruler, etc.  We were pleased to welcome our first speakers for the morning session:  Stellenbosch Deputy Executive Mayor (Martin Smuts), ATKV (Amanda de Stadler)  and Mpumamanzi Laboratories (Tony Bowers). 

From there we walked 5 km to the river where the Department of Environmental Affairs (Marlé Kunneke) and WISA Western Cape Branch (Jason Mingo) presented a practical session (MiniSASS).

The final session took place at the Pniel Municipal Building with the following speakers:  WISA Western Cape (Ashton Maherry and Gareth McConkey) and A.L. Abbott & Associates (Natasia van Binsbergen).

WAMTechnology CC donated R10,000 and commemorative maps of the Dwarsrivier Valley each to Anna Foundation and Kylemore High School.  We also donated the maps to the Pniel Library, Dwarsrivier Tourism and Museum.

The learners and participants enjoyed the day, and are looking forward to the next event!

This anniversary is an awarding moment for us as we take joy in reminiscing about the past and all our accomplishments, while we passionately look forward to great new opportunities ahead!
