"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but rising every time we fall" - Nelson Mandela.
This weekend that passed we paid a visit to the Manger Care Centre, to show our support and love for Mandela day 2015. What a day it was. There is nothing like doing something like this to bring you back to earth and make you realize what you really have.
The Manger Care Centre Eden home, is a home for the homeless. A place where people can go to get back on their feet after everything has worked against them. The work these people do will warm your heart in the deepest way and I am so happy that we were able to do just a little to give back to them.
For Mandela day this year, we went to the house in our oldest and ugliest clothes, we took paint and brushes and food galore and we spent the day painting , making lunch for them and just spending the day with wonderful people.
This day was not only about us giving back to those less fortunate, but also a day where the less fortunate brought us back to our roots. We realized that we should be thankful for what we have in life, because even though it might not be much, it could also be everything someone else has ever dreamed of.
This Mandela day we made new friends, with people we might have never met if it wasn't for Mandela day. #ThankyouMandela.
