SOJO urges Johannesburg south community to make an impact
The SOJO Business and Tourism Helping Hands Foundation and partners will collaborate for Mandela Day to leave a lasting impact on the Joburg south community.
The SOJO Business and Tourism Helping Hands Foundation and various partners will come together to support the south of Johannesburg community on July 18.
The goal is to create an event that will positively impact the lives of over 1 000 individuals through various services, including serving a hot meal, providing basic clinic services, warm showers, haircuts, manicures, encouragement, counselling, addiction advice, prayer and distributing food parcels, dignity packs, clothing and shoes.
To ensure the initiative’s success, the SOJO Helping Hands Foundation seeks the support of local businesses and individuals.
Specifically, they require sponsorship of food items, toiletries, dental care services, additional ladies’ hairdressers, nail technicians for basic manicures and pedicures for men and women, DJs and speakers, encouragers and Bibles for all ages, faith booklets and encouragement.
Children’s items include backpacks, toys, lunchboxes, juice bottles and stationery packs containing colouring pencils, sketch pads, sweets, and blankets.
