Dainfern Square hosts 67 Blankets
Dainfern Square played host to the 67 Blankets for Madiba initiative as they called on volunteers to join at the Square for a knitting or crocheting date.
Dainfern Square was proud to have played host to the 67 Blankets for Mandela initiative from July 15 to 18.
During this initiative, volunteers were invited to knit or crochet blankets and scarves donated to those in need during this cold winter.
KnitWits were hard at work, clicking their knitting needles and looping their crochet hooks to make thousands of warm scarves and blankets that were handed out. The volunteers were from schools, churches, community organisations and companies.
The 67 Blankets for Mandela initiative had already distributed thousands of blankets made by South Africans for South Africans in need. Over the years, this initiative has grown into a global movement, mobilising thousands of active members in South Africa and around the world to crochet and knit blankets and scarves made with love while simultaneously demonstrating the true meaning of Ubuntu.
