Mandela Day, on the 18th July, calls for South Africans to embrace the nationwide campaign to get involved in charitable activities.
Embrace the day and if you are looking for ideas on how to spend your 67 minutes, why not consider these charities operating within our neighbourhood:
During July, as part of Mandela Month, Straight from the Ground is raising month to support the REEA Foundation by donating produce they procure from small-scale farmers. Thereby supporting the local economy and providing clean, healthy food to the adult housed at the care centre.
Support this great initiative by purchasing your organic vegetable box today!
