🌟 From Ordinary to Extraordinary: A Day of Impact and Joy 🌟
7 August may have looked like just another date on the calendar—but for hundreds of hearts, it became a day to remember. 💛
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Soft Landings, who donated all the food, and the tireless passion of Feed the Future, we came together to pack 4,000 soyasocks—each one capable of feeding 6 people. That’s 24,000 meals filled with love, hope, and nourishment. 🍚✨
At 9:00 AM, the gates of Victoria Heights B&B—graciously offered by Deon and Rina Kleyn—opened to a wave of energy, laughter, and purpose. Teams from near and far rolled up their sleeves, including:
🌟 Mayor Jackie von Brandis and her team
💼 Nedbank Commercial Banking (Oudtshoorn, Mossel Bay, Plettenberg Bay & George) Riaan Marais and Louise Lategan and their teams.
💚 Amor Venter’s team of CME Marketing
💚 Old Mutual Personal Financial Advice🐾 The Kwagga Team led by Kobus Nel
🏠 Inovar Flooring 👨👩👧👦 The Jones family
⛪ George South Church
🙌 And many cherished individuals and old friends
Together, we packed with joy, emptied sacks of rice and soya, and watched the piles of soyasocks grow—each one a symbol of care and community. 🚚💪
Then came the deliveries—spreading warmth to:
📚 Harkerville Primary School
📚 Woodlands Primary School (Plettenberg Bay)
🏞️ De Oude Muragie near De Rust
📚 Herold Primary School
📚 Geelhoutboom Primary School
📚 Waboomskraal Primary School
🤝 Lunda Helping Hands
And many more small but mighty destinations
And there was even more joy to share—De Oude Muragie and Herold Primary School were also blessed with school shoes and socks, not for everyone, but for quite a few lucky children. These were beautifully crafted from recycled drip bags, turning something discarded into something life-giving. 👟🧦♻️
To Nicci and the entire management team at Soft Landings—your kindness made this possible. THANK YOU for believing in the power of community. 🌱
This was more than an event. It was a movement. A celebration of what happens when compassion meets action. 💫
