“We understand not everyone can donate exorbitant amounts of money, so we welcome any sort of donation whether it is your time, food parcels or even toys,” said Barbara Bouwer, director of Germiston Child Welfare.
“In the spirit of 67 minutes, one may donate R67, this money will go towards paying an unemployed member of the community to do an odd job at Germiston Child Welfare for Mandela Day.
“Not only will you be contributing to a great cause, but someone other than our charity will benefit.
“Sixty-seven non-perishable foods may be donated too, food such as soups, canned foods etc.”
