As per usual, For the Future would like to apologize for not posting an update sooner. Everything this year has been very hectic as the students are now in year 12/13 and are very busy submitting internals and trying to prepare for externals. As of today (10/9/2017), we have officially began construction of the green house! It took very long to organize the materials needed for the construction as well as experienced people to help. A special thanks to Bunnings Warehouse NZ for providing us with a building plan as well as materials for this project. On behalf of For the Future, we would also like to thank Mr Pillay, Mr Pillay Senior and Darcy for their expertise and help today. The construction of this green house would not be possible without the help of these wonderful people. Final Dimensions of the greenhouse : 3m x 3m x 2m.

Day 1 was definitely a success. Thank you to the members who were involved in the construction today. The green house is 60% completed with the main structure up, all there is left to do is to attach the plastic bottle stilts, cover up the roof, attach the door and it will be good to go!! It has been a long and hard journey transforming our idea into an action, but no matter the effort it is all for a better and more environmentally friendly community! For those who were with us from the start, we want to say a huge thank you for supporting us. Any thoughts, opinions and ideas please comment down below or email forthefutureac@gmail.com.

Yours sincerely,
For the Future.
