It was recently a national initiative on 18th July for people to celebrate Nelson Mandela's birthday by giving 67 minutes of community service to symbolically mark 1 minute for every year of his public service. We had these nice contributions:
- Our local Grootfontein College sent a large group to cleanup the yard, the home and repair the swings on the 18th July.
- Quintin Vlooh of Eastern Cape Security, also helped with repairs at the home.
- Middelburg Begrafnisdienste, Rhett Newton's office, delivered gift parcels to our children.
- Methodist Church ladies in Midros, also sent parcels to the children.
- Vionolia, Auxiliary Worker at ECYCC, painted their puppet house.
- ECYCC's own contribution towards the 67 minutes was to provide the sound and truck towards a substance abuse and drug abuse event held in Middelburg, which featured a local choir organized by the local DOSD Middelburg.
Thanks to everyone that took part and supported us. A really great way for people to come together and help one another.
And finally, some nice photos from our TransKaroo friends which they shared with us. Their efforts look epic! This is fundraising in the extreme.
