Nandos giving back to the community
We donated 57 meals to the centre and we realised that the situation is not good at all since the centre was burnt around last year in June.
The staff of Nandos downtown, Klipfontein and Saveways gave back to the eMalahleni community.
The presentation was held on Thursday, March 16. They sacrificed their staff meals to donate them to the St Ullan Orphanage Centre and Sports Academy in Klarnet.
“We donated 57 meals to the centre and we realised that the situation is not good at all since the centre was burnt around last year in June. We are committed to donate our staff meals once a month to the centre but the centre needs more than food so we will raise the awareness to our fellow brothers and sisters to donate cloths for the children at the centre as well as blankets before the winter starts,” stated Fortune Mashinini organiser of the event.
This initiative was started on Mandela day in July 2014 whereby the group donated their meals to Mtimkhulu Old Age Home in Lynnville as well as the Witbank Hospital. Ever since then they have never looked back and they donated to other organisations as well.
“Our staff is planning to contribute money to buy blankets, cloths and food for the centre and donated to the centre. In April, we will be sponsoring the event: Ikusasa the Foretellers Youth Development. The event is about the youth of eMalahleni where there will be performances of art, sports and other activities organised by the centre together with Ikusasa youth development. We as Nandos we are proud to give back to the community and willing to help our society to fight crime, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse and poverty,” added Mashinini.
