The Wasteland – Graced Land Experience by .foundation is an inclusive local experience. Formerly unemployed youth, now proud local tourist guides, share knowledge of the environment, history and culture. The community is involved in developing a sound environmental and cultural stewardship and share fascinating local history and stories.
- As visitors go ‘walkabout and talkabout’, around the welcoming community they drop in for a quick laugh and pass houses transformed into murals depicting their significant history by the Paint-Up with Kamamma project.
- Lend a handwith a brush-stroke and plant indigenous plants on a former waste dump site, now a botanical garden at the historical St Augustine’s grounds, where the restored calcrete church now serves as a Centre for Arts and Humanities.
- Cook-up with Kamamma is stripped of ‘staged culture' and offers a true “Taste of local Reality”. It is a real and heart warming experience. The Dreamcatcher Kamamma shares her lifestyle and traditions in an authentic home based setting. You will enjoy cooking an item or two of your hearty traditional meal in a fun and participative encounter.
- One can even stay over at a ‘Homestay with Kamamma’ built from recycled building material! The Kamamma host and husband spent 2 years removing disposed building was from the waste dump site which was destined to be burned and landfilled. Back on their proudly owned land, they built a guest bedroom and bathroom with all usual home comforts, from scratch.
