Friend Julie, Peace Corps Volunteer
working at VMS, has just shared pictures of her involvement in ‘Nelson Mandela
Day’. Nelson Mandela devoted 67 years of his life to the service of
humanity, as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international
peacemaker and the first democratically elected president of a free South Africa. Each year, on Mandela’s July 18th birthday, the UN joins
with the Nelson Mandela Foundation in calling for people throughout the world
to spare 67 minutes of their time to helping others.
This year, in celebration of
Madiba’s (Mandela’s beloved nickname) 94th birthday, three (3) of
the Vols from the SVA as well as Julie, Khathu, Woo and Susie installed a fence
around a young boy’s garden in Mudunungu. He is a hardworking member of our
Children’s ARV Support Group and his garden provides food for his entire
family. Our industrious gardener needed help in keeping the cows and goats away
from his precious vegetables.
Thanks to our VMS group this
garden is thriving.
Please
