AWLEYS ISLAND — To celebrate Earth Day, Carolina Human Reinvestment will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 17 at their community garden, 772 Petigru Dr. in Pawleys Island.

This open house will consist of informational sessions on recycling and composting, live music from WLGI 90.9 and an appearance from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans mascot.

Giany Guedjo, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the goal of the event is to let the community know it is there to serve them in any way they need.

“Not everybody knows who we are, so its going to be a place for us to share about the organization and also a place for people to come and do something different,” Guedjo said.

Carolina Human Reinvestment is an organization dedicated to serving youth through after school programing. Its main focuses include an after school program in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice called Teen After School Center, as well as a national program for youth affected by incarceration called the Amachi program.
