Mandela Day 2026

Gansbaai se mense is mos sout van die aarde!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special:

• Mariska Smith - Thank you! Your 80 cupcakes turned into 100!

• Marine Dynamics - Thank you for donating 70 blankets and 100 hot dogs. The children loved every moment, and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you too for our new classroom mat!

• Gansbaai Maatskaplike Dienste Badisa - We can't thank you enough. It was an absolute pleasure hosting Mandela Day with you. Your fishing game was a huge hit with the kids!

Sunshine Nation NPO (311-451) proudly prepared 100 sandwiches, handed out cooldrinks, distributed 50 loaves of bread to families in need, and gave school shoes kindly donated by Lions Club Gansbaai.

Mandela Day in Blompark, Beverly Hills was filled with laughter, kindness, and hope. Together with our amazing local partners, we made a difference in our community, one act of kindness at a time.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter. Together we are building a stronger, more caring Gansbaai.
