Another Happy Mandela Day!

This 
is my second Mandela Day in South Africa. Last year I helped stock a library in Soweto, and this year I am joining the 
American Society of South Africa (ASSA) volunteers 
in
 supporting 
FEED
SA.


FEED
SA 
is 
a 
non‐profit 
organisation
 committed to 
feeding
 the
 hearts, 
minds and 
tummies 
of 
South 
African
 children 
in 
need. 
Their 
main 
aim 
is 
to 
establish 
feeding
 programmes
 within 
townships.
These 
feeding 
programmes
 are 
aimed 
at 
those 
who
 receive
 no 
other 
forms
 of 
funding 
whatsoever.
 FEED
SA 
also 
implements 
the
 building 
and 
setting
 up 
of 
creches
 (from 
the 
infrastructure 
to 
operations), 
teachers 
training 
and
 teaching 
curriculum. 
To 
date, 
FEED
SA 
assists 
42 
beneficiaries 
– 
from 
Alexandra 
Township, 
Soweto,
 Orlando 
West, 
Orange 
Farm, 
and 
the 
West 
Rand 
(around
 5,347 
people). 


ASSA members are preparing and delivering lunches on Mandela Day to a creche in Alexandra and the organisation is also making a monetary donation to FEEDSA made up of individual members' donations of R67, (67 being the number of minutes South Africans are asked to devote to charity on Mandela Day).
