Celebrating Mandela Day

Today we celebrated Mandela Day with social entrepreneur and optometrist, Ntombi Zitha, from Sha’p Left Eye Care at the Timber Kleinbegin Centre.

Our Youth Voices participants received free eye screenings. The few that need prescription spectacles were sponsored with a free pair.

Through collaboration, we will drive our communities forward.

Thank you Ntombi for making the future a little clearer and brighter for our young Game Changers. And for making health care more accessible to our community.
