Township of Gugulethu - meet Otto and the "hanger scraping" community center

Vukuhambe - a Community Center for disabled adults where they come to work at scraping stickers off of plastic hangers from local department stores, so the hangers can go on to be recycled. Read more about Otto in my post from a couple weeks ago. (During our most recent visit, I learned that he got polio as an infant, he wears braces on his legs.)

There are mountains of these bags in the hallway and outside the building
