Help Boys & Girls Clubs of South Africa with 70 volunteers for children by giving 67 minutes for Mandela Day
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
18 of July is declared Mandela Day, where citizens are encouraged to spend 67 minutes of their time in service to others in need. These 67 minutes are in appreciation of the 67 years that Nelson Mandela spent fighting for justice, equality and human rights for all. We invite you to give your 67 minutes to children and their after school programmes provided by BGCSA. You can do so by: donating goods (stationeries, food, garden equipment, furniture), painting our infrastructure to make it more children friendly and fun, spending time with children (fun day) and we also accept cash donations that assist with operations of programmes.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
