Stories of Mandela Day from Bless a Baby
“Bless a Baby had a fabulous day on Mandela Day, it was successful in every way! There was a great vibe, smiles all round and connecting with those giving their 67 minutes. We touched hearts, raised awareness and there were loads of donations,” says Glynne Rosselli, one of the founding members of Bless a Baby.
One of the stories of the day:
“My group of ladies was getting very emotional after our 67 minute sections that even I got teary eyed. They couldn’t believe that the little things that they did on the day could make such a huge impact on the lives of those on the receiving end.”
