67 minutes celebrated in Eldos

Different organisations and people choose to make a difference within their community by doing their bit of 67 minutes on Mandela Day which falls each year on the later former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela well known as Tata Madiba birthday.

Despite the country being currently on Adjusted Level 4 lockdown due to the current Covid -19 pandemic, it did not stop community warriors from making a difference by giving back within the community and help those in dire need of basic necessities, medication, food, and many other things, this is inclusive of adults and children who were blessed to have a hot meal which they do not get to eat on a daily basis.

 

The Lady in Pink Foundation based in Eldorado Park celebrated 67 minutes by donating 100 blankets, 100 sanitary pads packs and 200 loafs of bread to the underprivileged. 

 

The children who were blessed with these amazing gifts come from the Greater Eldorado Park and Greater Kliptown areas. Organisations who brought their children were Sizwe Feeding Scheme, Ignite Girls and MB Foundation. Walking through the gate, girls were smiling with joy as they thanked the founders, Christopher and Gazelle Booysen for their wonderful assistance and always making a huge difference within the community. 


Chris and Gazelle thanked Spiritual Chords for their generous donations of the blankets, breads and sanitary pads.

Appa Amina Kaldien who was so grateful that SCF donated these blankets packs as she explained this would help her learners stay warm as they come from underprivileged backgrounds and the girls are studying to become Alima’s.
