Some dumps really don’t want to be found, so they hide for years under thick green bushes.
City Friends Club with its volunteers come to the rescue as always to help this area look good again. There will be fresh air, great company, and that special kind of magic when a few dozen people completely transform a place in just a couple of hours.
