Made for More Youth for Christ: Akhona Cele is the founder of an organisation called Youth in Christ. She recently met up with Lynn Espitalier through Anele Zama of Made for More. Lynn organised donations from people around her for Youth in Christ because this organisation assists mainly families and youth who are struggling financially. Lynn arranged for Christmas parcels for six families and was joined by Akhona to hand them over to me. Her gesture assisted these families so much because had it not been for her they were not going to have Christmas like other families
