The legacy of Madiba lives on as Gold Circle staff commemorate his birthday and the values he stood for such as humanity, kindness and selflessness, by giving back to those that are less fortunate.
The Abalindi Welfare Society, is a non-profit organisation (NPO), with a residential facility situated in Inanda. This NPO provides support to children and youth from 3 to 18 years of age. Most of these children are orphans and vulnerable children that have been legally placed in the care of Abilindi by the government. Volunteers working at the facility ensure that the children have shelter, clothing, food to eat and that their basic needs are met. Abilindi also run a creche and pre-school for children aged 1 to 5 years, they run an old age home for those 60 years and older and provide home-based care services and an outpatient facility for the terminally ill.
Gold Circle staff spent the morning of Mandela Day at Abalindi by giving love and spending time with the children and the elderly. Breakfast was prepared, some of the building structures were painted and a truck load of items from tables, chairs, toys for the play area, school bags and kitchen appliances were donated. Gold Circle also arranged for a mobile clinic, sponsored by Aurora Medical, to be present to provide health and medical wellness to the children and elderly. Pastor Sibisi and Mr Myeza, speaking on behalf of Abalindi were very grateful for the donations provided towards uplifting their facilities and their lives.
“There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return,” Nelson Mandela.
