Our colleagues around the world have today set aside 67 minutes in celebration of Nelson Mandela Day.
We celebrate not only Madiba’s life but also the ability for people around the globe to join together in the call to make a positive difference on others around them.
As this year is Standard Bank Group’s 150th anniversary, staff are being encouraged to dedicate 150 minutes of their time. They are getting involved as teams to help out various organisations.
Activities range from packing food parcels to teaching and from cleaning streets to entertaining children.
Some organisations benefitting include:
· Salvation Army
· Albert Street School
· Frida Hartley Woman’s Shelter
· Trinity Church Soup Kitchen
· Thembalethu Life Skills Centre
· Central Methodist Church Crèche
· Dorah’s Ark Orphanage
· Princess Alice Adoption Home
· Greyville Soup Kitchen
· St George’s Cathedral.
