CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND PLACING CHILDREN’S ISSUES AT AN ALL-TIME PEAK

7/28/2022

2 Comments

 
This Women’s Month, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (the Fund) will participate in the Imbumba Foundation’s “Trek4Mandela”. It is a 10-day expedition summiting Mount Kilimanjaro - in Tanzania, to raise awareness about menstrual challenges facing the girl child.
 
“The Superwoman Club” comprises various women from different organisations who will climb Kilimanjaro from 03 August in the lead up to reach the peak on 09 of August, also known as Women’s Day in South Africa, to fight ‘period poverty’ which results in girls missing school due to a lack of sanitary towels.
 
Chief Business Engagement Officer at the Fund, Ms Nomthi Mnisi, who will represent the Fund, says that the organisation is adopting the slogan of, “Climbing Mountains so vulnerable children do not have to.”
 
This follows the organisation’s theme for its Annual Children’s Celebration, held in July 2022, which culminated in a fun walk at the Johannesburg Zoo under the theme of, “Walking the extra mile so vulnerable children do not have to.”
 
Mnisi says, “This is an ambitious and self-less task that we are undertaking. In summiting Kilimanjaro, we hope to raise the profile of children and place their needs on the highest peak in Africa as a statement on their behalf, to say that their needs can no longer be ignored.”
 
Interim CEO of the Fund, Dr Stanley Maphosa, says that this initiative serves as a continuation of the Fund’s 27th anniversary celebrations as well as its ongoing campaign known as #ServeLikeMandela. “This is a call to our supporters and the public to walk in Mandela’s footsteps and be of service to our society, particularly our children, whom he loved so much. We are extremely proud that Ms Mnisi is leading the way in this regard.”
 
Dr Maphosa also wished former CEO of Fund, Ms Konehali Gugushe, a speedy recovery after she broke her ankle in training. Ms Gugushe was set to join the Superwomen’s trek, as a patron of the Fund, before the injury which took place on a hiking trail on 23 July 2022. “We know that Ms Gugushe is still an ardent supporter of this cause, and we hope that she will recover soon and continue to help us spread awareness around this initiative.”
 
According to Mnisi, not everyone has to climb a mountain to show their support. “Nothing is more motivating than knowing that while you may be climbing alone in extreme conditions, you have supporters who are nudging you on back home. We hope that the rest of the country and globe will show their support from their various corners in the world by simply donating towards our cause, spreading the word, and helping us to reach that extra mile in the work that we do as the Fund.”
 
The Fund hopes to raise R300 000 through this initiative and the public are encouraged donate funds, of any amount, that will go towards preventing period poverty and supporting the work of the Fund across various facets of children’s lives. This includes healthcare, poverty alleviation, youth leadership, and child safety.
 
The organisation will keep the public posted on its progress as well as other initiatives aimed at highlighting women and girls’ issues during the course of August.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}
