Comments

We asked our Managing Director, Amanda, what the best thing about managing H18 Foundation is, she said:

"The best part of my day is spending time with our little ones, I do love them so much. Now that we have Mana Preschool , I don't see them as often as I used to, but they are learning and growing so much and so quickly. Every moment I get to spend with them is a treasure."

We thank our amazing community for making this endearing Easter Basket initiative a reality again this year! A few kind-hearted ladies from the Milnerton Public Library knitting club and a handful of committed residents from Milnerton Ridge: NW Members & Residents knitted/crocheted 445 of these gorgeous little baskets to gift to young children at the Brooklyn Chest hospital, Peace Home Safe Haven, ECD centres in Brooklyn and Phoenix, Mana Preschool and where possible vulnerable children and elderly folk supported by our local community kitchens✨🐣🧺🍬

Each basket was filled with two yummy marshmallow eggs together with a Happy Easter message sent with love ❤️ we are super grateful to all our amazing volunteers and sponsors who made this possible 🐇

A special note of thanks goes out to all our individual donors for the cash donations received and Sorbet Paddocks Print-Tag Rotary Club of Blouberg Milnerton Methodist Church for the generous contributions of marshmallow eggs 🌈

When you have perfect light, truly nothing else matters.

Sometimes you just luck out as did the Peer family, not only with magnificent light, but also being the prize winners for the Mana Preschool lucky draw, to which I donated a shoot.
Mana Preschool ! A big thank you for your love and generosity toward our art supplies. It's in times like these that giving and receiving are what will make the world a better place!

ECD's helping each other out!

Title:
FATHER

Nelson Mandela is fondly referred to as Tata Madiba. Tata means Father and Madiba is Tata’s tribe. Mandela had a huge heart for children and loved to be in their company. He left immortal words that inspire us today. They remind us that educating a child is our responsibility, our legacy, and our future. This art auction supporting Mana Preschool is a cause to honor his legacy. A wise and benevolent leader, Tata Madiba is also remembered as a lover of the South African culture. The way our Father danced! We call it “Madiba Magic” and it still has a place with us. This art inspires us and reminds us what Tata Madiba taught - life is a dance and we must live it as better people.

Mandela day partners: Mana Boxes H18 Foundation
In honor of Mandela Day 2021, we have partnered with Legacy Collection and Sharon B Design, to raise awareness for the need of Early Childhood Development (ECD) in South Africa.

The essence of Mandela Day is to take action and . Heeding this call to action, a poignant Mandela watercolor drawing called FREEDOM is being auctioned in support of Mana Preschool, an ECD program for underserved children in the South African township of Joe Slovo Park. Mana Preschool was founded to support the female workers affiliated with H18 Foundation. Through H18, these mothers receive craft skills training and sustainable income generation. Mana Preschool and H18 Foundation are co-located.

This piece measures 20.47 x 28.34 inches and is framed in white wood. Painted in beautifully muted watercolors and framed with gold foil, the piece includes a bit of the original fencing from Robben Island.

“This must be a world of democracy and respect for human rights, a world freed from the horrors of poverty, hunger, deprivation and ignorance, relieved of the threat and the scourge of civil wars and external aggression and unburdened of the great tragedy of millions forced to become refugees.” -Nelson Mandela

Women Making Mana History Spotlight:

🌺 Mecksure “Mecky” Banda has designed our crocheted purse and hat coming in the summer edition of Mana Boxes. The Mana Boxes family calls the crochet bag, the Mecky Bag after her. Mecky is one of the women benefitting from the work of the H18 Foundation, founded in South Africa to uplift, empower and upskill unemployed women - including those living in informal settlements - more than 150 women have been empowered through H18. Their core skills training is the art of crocheting. Another force for change within the foundation that is also supported by our Mana Boxes project is the newly-opened Mana Preschool. Now accepting donations here: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/mana-preschool-development-of-the-whole-child/thelastkm. Mana Preschool is committed to strengthening the development of the whole child including Mecky’s own daughter, Lisa.
