Mandela Day and the Soweto Gospel Choir

This is another bumper episode, full of news about the various ways in which our members continue to touch the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa. In the first half, Leanne reports on the effect of COVID-19 in various areas around Gauteng. Ronda reports on six different Mandela Day activities that took place on 18 July. We hear about how the work is continuing during lockdown. In the second half, Sandy McDonald and Debbie Posmontier share their memories of Knit-a-Square's partnership with the Soweto Gospel Choir to provide blankets for the children at Nkosi's Haven in 2010. Many of you will remember this amazing venture, but if you are new to Knit-a-Square, prepare to be delighted and inspired!
