Soft-drink manufacturer, Coca-Cola handed over a sports storeroom and office worth $4,000 (approximately P40,000) to Gaborone West Junior Secondary School) on Wednesday.

The school came second in the COPA Coca-Cola PET Recycling competition earlier this year, a joint campaign by Coca-Cola partnership with Botswana Integrated Sports Association (BISA), Somarela Tikologo and the secondary schools that participated in the COPA Coca-Cola football tournament for the PET Recycling competition.

The campaign was aimed at complementing and strengthening the country's efforts to keep the environment clean. At the same time, this enhanced Coca-Cola's effort to fulfill the World Without Waste goal of educating students about the importance of recycling for a litter-free environment. The programme, which commenced last year, encouraged pupils to collect PET bottles and taught about the importance of waste management. G-West JSS alongside Ledumadumane JSS came tops in the competition and bagged P40,000 for a school sports project.
