Organisation in Joburg gives back on Mandela Day
JOHANNESBURG – Organisation makes a generous donation to Sweethearts Foundation for Mandela Day.
The Young Adults Learning and Earning (Yale) organisation made a generous donation to the Sweethearts Foundation for Mandela Day.
Director of Yale, Merle Sager said, “Young Adults Learning and Earning is an organisation that caters to the needs of adults unable, because of learning disabilities, to find employment in the open market and to live independently.”
Yale has a sheltered workshop in Sandringham and a residence in Rouxville where adults work and live with limited supervision.
The organisation donated five blankets and packets of lids and bread tags to the foundation, which they have been partnered with for two years.
The foundation collects plastic bottle tops and bread tags that get recycled. With the money received, they are able to purchase and supply wheelchairs to those unable to afford it.
“For Mandela day, we handed over five blankets and packets and packets of lids and tags. Nelson Mandela spent 67 years trying to make the world, and our South Africa, a better place. Each year, people all over the world celebrate Nelson Mandela’s birthday by assisting those in need. In this way we honour the great legacy he left behind.”
