The Jarvis Gqamlana School Cleaned on Mandela Day

By

The cleaning of the Jarvis Gqamlana school on 18 July was such an awesome deed – its amazing how quickly many helping hands can transform a filthy school into a sparkling clean site!

The action was organised by the ANC Ernest Malgas Branch from Ward 15. About 50 people contributed to this great action. They worked in shifts and the team included community activists and members, as as well known business people from other areas.

“Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others”

Quote from Nelson Mandela.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
