Choose Germiston Child Welfare this Mandela Day
Pop into the Germiston Child Welfare offices today and do your 67 Minutes for Mandela.
Wednesday is Mandela Day.
At this time each one of us will begin to reflect on how we are going to do our little bit in service to others.
As we prepare for our chance to give back in honour of the decades Mandela spent in sacrifice so that we could live in a better world, we think of his words – “It is in your hands to make a difference.”
Our hands can change the world for the better.
We have the power to make a difference.
This year, as we celebrate 100 years since Nelson Mandela’s birth, and we celebrate Mandela Day, let’s do him proud by giving back to our communities
You can help this Mandela Day by supporting Germiston Child Welfare.
