The heart of Mandela Day is not about numbers and statistics, it is about building sustainable cultures of service, overcoming alienation, and inspiring people to change their societies so that fundamental systemic issues are addressed.

On 18 July we were visited by many individuals and organisations, who spent time with our service users, and brought donations.

We at Bona Lesedi Disability Centre express our sincere thanks to civil society and the private sector for the generous donation of clothes, soccer balls, beanies, blankets, food and hygiene products on 18 July 2016 at Bona Lesedi.

Our communities are the perfect example of what can be achieved when people come together because of Mandela day history.

We thank you for the role played in helping us exceed our goal, and look forward to your participation in future campaigns.

Thank you for your continued and valued support.
