Cleaning Riot
We were all shocked, terrified and scared when we saw the horrifying riot pictures on TV, especially when we could see it all happening from our window. It was worring to see that young people joined in demolishing, breaking, vandalising and looting our community. WoW Mums always stated the importance of youth clubs, libraries and adventure playgrounds for young people, which could deter younsters from following the wrong lead in life. We made sure that as many children take part in cleaning the mess to make our point that children can do good as well.
London Star Sandra Munoz
Another one of our start volunteers, WoW Mums Sandra Munoz Alvarez has been awarded Londoner of the Day award by Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, for her wholehearted volunteering for five organisations and charities.
