Boniswa Nyati hands over books to Ebenezer Hannah Home founder Shirley MerimeContinuing the spirit of Mandela Day, staff from the Nelson Mandela Foundation visited the Ebenezer Hannah Home outside Johannesburg, South Africa, to make a donation of clothing, shoes, toys, books, blankets and crockery.
These are the heartwarming stories we love to read about - organizations who do good work in their community, like the Ebenezer Hannah Home. The home was founded by Shirley Merime and houses 75 orphaned and abandoned children and 58 elderly people.
Shirley Merime expressed her gratitude and also thanked Mr Nelson Mandela for teaching South Africans not to have vengeance but to have love and forgiveness. She said: “Tata Mandela reached out for a better future and so that is what we are trying to teach our kids here.”
