Rand Aid takes on Walk the Talk
JOHANNESBURG – Rand Aid took part in the annual MTN Walk the Talk with 702 on 23 July.
The 114-year-old non-profit organisation Rand Aid showed off their team spirit in the streets of Johannesburg at the MTN Walk the Talk with 702 on 23 July.
General Manager of Compliance and Social React Division, Ayanda Matthews said, “All praise goes to every person who represented Rand Aid Association in the event. The camaraderie, the team work and the group cohesion were unbelievable. The day was beautiful, the crowds were a sight to see and the South African spirit was evident in all the walkers.”
The 65 participants, comprising Rand Aid staff members, family, residents and staff from Sovereign Construction, took part to raise awareness about the organisation and spread the message that active ageing promotes mental and physical well-being.
“An in-house raffle was also held to raise funds for Thembalami Care Centre, Rand Aid’s Lombardy East complex that is home to many financially vulnerable people. The winner was Joyce van Leeuwen from Thornhill Manor. The total kilometres walked were 419 and her guess was the closest, at 417km.”
