What is the Giant Flag Project?
Quote:
The Giant Flag is a legacy project of vast proportions, a celebration of the spirit of South Africa and her people. We are building a giant flag made up of millions of coloured desert cacti and succulents, and a four-megawatt solar field, in an area that was previously completely barren. Effectively viewable from space and the size of 66 soccer fields, The Giant Flag will not only claim its place as a natural wonder, but also as a new model of economic stimulus for previously disadvantaged communities. Job creation, clean energy and tourism come together in a world first green innovation project that’s making change happen in South Africa!
Hey Guys
I just wanted to share this initiative with this community since its a developmental one focused on enhancing a struggling community, uplifting them and providing them with much needed employment in a desolate location. The initative wants to develop the communities by creating a SA Flag using Desert plans, a White Road and also Eco friendly solar panels, once combined, can be viewed from space. This can be used for the promotion of South Africa, the Spirit of Africa and its people.
I would like to support this project because I am proud of my country, regardless of the shortcomings. Yes, you may cringe, but it is important to me - its a small way of making a huge difference.
All the details are in the website :D I want to try and donate about R100 - R200 a month.
I am willing to donate on a members behalf if they so wish.
Thanks :D
