the street\u2019s residents was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery household contributed a salad and Top Security let us use their jumping castle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Farrell believes that this event truly reflected the spirit of the \u201cI love my village\u201d project and encourages residents of other streets in the area to stage similar events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day was awesome and new friends were made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the initiative, future events or to join the WhatsApp group, call O\u2019Farrell on 076 651 4922 or send an email to
