To create community awareness and highlight the ongoing pollution crisis in the Upper Highway area, we have City approval for 1,000 participants, to hold a peaceful protest march walking in unity. We encourage you to attend and stand in solidarity with us, create posters, wear your t-shirts and help us in spotlighting our dilemma to the appropriate authorities. We will be handing over a memorandum to the relevant role-players.

Please note that Upper Highway Air will not be held liable for any losses incurred and parents/guardians are responsible for supervising children and that all participants participate at their own risk.
