Rand Aid’s Inyoni Creek retirement village residents again reached out to support non-profit organisation 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day, donating an impressive 1 966 squares to the organisation to make blankets for those in need.
Every year Inyoni Creek’s hard-working knitters and crocheters come together to make as many squares as possible to help keep those less fortunate warm in winter.
“This year, our residents completed 1 966 squares, beating last year’s record of 1 602 squares. That’s an impressive increase of 364 squares. A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible and reached out to help those in need,” says Inyoni Creek’s manager Jenny Tonkin.
To celebrate, the residents who took part enjoyed muffins and cocoa around the fireplace on Mandela Day, kindly sponsored by Inyoni Creek’s deputy manager Marinda Looyen.
