Mandela Day is almost upon us.<\/p>\n
July 18 will see people marking the day by doing good works in the community.<\/p>
Where will you be spending your 67 Minutes for Mandela Day?<\/p>\n
Epworth Children\u2019s Village is inviting companies and individuals to spend Mandela Day with the children at the home.<\/p>
The open day will be held from 9am to 3pm at the home situated at 47 Ninth Avenue, Lambton Extension One.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome and spend some time with the children in a friendly game of soccer in the park, spend your 67 minutes doing homework or making lunch for the children,\u201d said Roberta Ingrato, administration and public relations manager at Epworth.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that is not your thing, and you want to get your hands dirty, we have various projects that require attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
Epworth is urging the public to help them raise awareness and funds on Mandela Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur challenge goes out to all businesses, schools and individuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake us your Mandela Day project.<\/p>\n
\u201cEncourage your employees to raise R67 – challenge your company to match employee contributions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe the one in your class to raise R67 and challenge all the other classes in your school to do the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are asking you for a minimum of R67 for an individual or R670 for a business,\u201d Roberta said.<\/p>\n
So far three companies, namely, Aristocrats, East Rand Listings and Harcourt Full Circle are on board for the project.<\/p>\n
