As much as the excitement is getting to me on telling the story that I'm about to tell, it is very important that I first greet you guys... Seeing that it has been a minute since I last done so.
Hello there everybody.
Last night my twitter timeline was packed with tweets about #KhayamnandiFireDonations2013 so, like any other curious being would, I gained some interest in the discussions and decided to check out what they were all about.
Following through the hashtag (twitter talk for subject matter), it was quite heartwarming when I found out what the discussion was all about. Headed by Kolosa Kokolo (@Kokx_kokolo), the discussion was about a donation drive setup for the Khayamnandi, a township in Stellenbosch, residents that were affected by the recent fires that took place a couple of weeks back.
The donation drive came about after she saw how badly affected the residents of Khayamnandi were, she put herself in their shoes in asking the questions "What if it were me or one of my family members that were in such a situation... How can I help and get others to come on board in helping out as well?" After tweeting about her plans, she saw the interest shown by other young people who, amongst other things, shared the same thoughts she had in mind and it was decided upon that; The drive should and will take place.
The meeting point will be at the Gugulethu N.Y. 6 Shops, near the Gugulethu Mall, at one of Gugulethu's favourite hang-out spot called Es'khaleni. People are urged to bring clothes, food, blankets, building material or anything they would want to help out with.
The date for the drive is 23/03/2013.
Native Yards Brand will be there in full force in support of this great initiative and to Kolosa Kokolo, this is what being a Native Yards Brand is all about... Big up to you sis'.
Ola de, ola de, ola de.
