So the 18th July saw Nelson Mandela turning 94!!! Madiba says that on his birthday instead of gifts, he wishes for everyone to do something nice for someone else for 67minutes - what a legend! Why 67 minutes? To represent the years that President Mandela contributed towards bringing about a just society in South Africa.
So, on Friday we squished around 100 students from a local school onto the tiny Thembelihle lawn for their 67minutes. They read poems, sang and danced for us, before handing over a donation of clothes and food for our kids…this is now a partnership which we hope to continue with the school for the future and one which will help Thembelihle greatly!
