Make Everyday Mandela Day
Over the past year, we have seen many news headlines
highlighting the vulnerability of the children in this country.
Furthermore, there are close to 4 million orphans in this
country alone and this is excluding millions more who are either classified
vulnerable or living under harsh conditions.
While not all of us are in a position to change the world
single handedly, our combined efforts can and will certainly make a difference.
We may not all be a position to adopt, foster or mentor a child but
small gestures such as taking part in a fun run, giving of our time, financially or
in kind will go a long way in helping organisations such as Newkidz on the
Block (www.newkidz.org.za), working towards creating safe living
environments for the millions of children in need.
Please take time to share this with fellow club members, family, friends and
colleagues that many will come out in great numbers as we host the 67 Minutes of Endorphins
for Orphans Fun Run on the 18th of August.
While this may not be timed a race, it is certainly a race
against time, as we need to act urgently to ensure that all children in our
communities grow up in safe environments and live to fulfill their dreams.
It is my sincere hope that we will see you on Sunday the 18th
of August, as our footsteps leave a mark on the roads of Durbanville
that shows we care and are willing to go the extra mile for our future.
So whether you can run, walk or trot, please come and help
us move a step closer to fulfilling the Newkidz philosophy, “There’s no such thing as an unwanted child,
just an unfound family” and make
everyday a Mandela Day.
