    An early and very special Mandela Day Distribution...

    Mandela day IS on 18/07, but … today (16th, another very cold 🥶 day in Jozi) Wandi and Nathi left the KASbarn loaded with colourful Mandela Day blankets … destined for a celebration with 50 children in an informal settlement - quite newly established and in need of some TLC.

    31195454668?profile=RESIZE_584xHow DO they keep warm at night in those little shacks ? 
    31195454687?profile=RESIZE_584xKAS is here.
     
    We loaded up the van with blankets, beanies, handwarmers, cuddly toys, apples, biscuits and packets of crisps … and our own favorite HUGE comfort bear, Nelson, which seemed appropriate !
    For this very special day of remembering Madiba, it was really good to have all the usual distribution gifts in stock !
    The little ones seemed to enjoy it all as you see.

    Spare a thought for our Viv who is in bed with flu 🤧😷🤒 and couldn’t come to the KASbarn today.
    Thanks as always for your support so we can bless these kids

      I spy my striped blanket in the 5th photo from the bottom. Thank you for this.

        Fantastic, I saw it too.   Also note 2 of Arlene's smart dolls in 4th from bottom pic, the child 2nd from left with bright orange hat on, and the child to the right of 'Nelson'.   It's great to see so many hand made toys too.

          Thank you, Karen! for spotting that for me.  still recovering from months of eye surgery.  this put a smile on my face today for sure.  when I get my glasses next week. I will have a better look.  Lovely to see the children happy.

    The latest installment from the June 1, 2026 distribution...

    Another bakers’ dozen of the truly impoverished children contributors to knit-a-square reached, in Lion Park informal settlement, last Monday. Hope you’re all good with the dribs and drabs way in which I’m sharing pics of the 60 children we gave blankets, beanies and soft toys to. It’s as I’m able to carve out time to clean up the pics 😅 and put together the post.
