Sponsorship of Yoga Mats for Senior Citizens Wellness Program

Recently, IAHV/Art of Living teachers Kamal Nepal and Rakhee Ramgolam, together with dedicated volunteers, facilitated an iKasi Happiness Program in iNanda Township, KwaZulu-Natal, at eLungelo Labadala for a group of senior citizens.

The program was arranged and supported by Xolani Radebe, a certified yoga teacher who has been quietly transforming lives through his selfless service to the elderly in his community. Despite facing personal challenges and currently being unemployed, Xolani continues to serve with unwavering commitment and compassion. His dedication ensures that the seniors in his care benefit holistically from the practice of yoga — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Until recently, the group practiced without proper equipment, using towels and cloths as makeshift mats. Recognising the need for safer and more comfortable practice conditions, IAHV stepped in to donate 50 yoga mats to the group.

This simple yet meaningful contribution has enhanced the quality of their sessions, allowing participants to practice with greater ease, dignity, and support.

IAHV extends its heartfelt appreciation to Xolani for his inspiring service and wishes him and his wellness group continued growth, strength, and impact within the community.

Support for Du Noon Fire Victims (Western Cape)

Earlier this month, a devastating fire swept through Du Noon in the Western Cape, leaving many families displaced and in urgent need of support. In response, graduates of the Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP) stepped forward to assist the affected community.

Several YLTP graduates have been actively volunteering at Silverleaf Primary School, where they recently supported learners during a Breath Water Sound (BWS) workshop. Through their close engagement with the school, it became clear that replacing lost school uniforms was an immediate priority for many of the children.

Thanks to the generosity of a sponsor, and the dedicated efforts of volunteers Diego and Cindy, new school uniforms were purchased and distributed to the learners. This simple yet meaningful support has helped restore dignity, stability, and a sense of normalcy for the children as they continue their education.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible. Together, we continue to stand in service of communities in need.

Children’s party at The Nelson Mandela Community Youth Centre (NMCYC)

On the 20th December, The Nelson Mandela Community Youth Centre (NMCYC) was lit up by the presence of 350 children who were treated to a day of fun, laughter, gifts, a hearty meal, music and dance.

This was a collaboration between The International Association for Human Values (IAHV), the Revolution Motorcycle Club and The Nelson Mandela Community Youth Centre who made it possible to have Children from various parts of Durban and different organisations brought to the centre to celebrate the end of 2025.

The children were treated to a snack on arrival, a live band, a clown that got their tummy aching with laughter, quizzes with prizes, stationery, a sumptuous lunch, ice cream and each child left with a goodie bag.

A representative from iCare said:

“We had a good time. Thanks for the invitation, Artists performance, food/ drinks, Christmas gifts for the boys- above all, gathering the children in one place to feel that belonging, opening the  platform for children show their strengths on talents, educational development and more. Once again, thanks a lot for inviting us.”

A huge thank you to over 50 Volunteers that made this event possible.

Stationery for Students

At IAHV, we believe that education is a powerful tool for transformation—and access to essential learning materials can make all the difference.

We’re proud to share that our IAHV Project Leader, Ruchay Sohawan, recently donated much-needed school stationery and books to Sierra Nevada Primary School in Lenasia South, Johannesburg.

This act of kindness brought joy and relief to both learners and educators, reinforcing the importance of community support in sustaining education, especially during challenging times.

In response, the school shared a heartfelt letter of appreciation:

“Please accept our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for your kind donation of the stationery and books for our learners. The success of the school is thanks to the generosity of the many loyal supporters, like yourselves.
It is heart-warming to note that in these times you are able to support the needs of the school.
Community support like yours is indispensable and plays a significant role in sustaining our services. We appreciate the magnitude of your gesture.”

We extend our deepest thanks to Ruchay for leading with compassion and to all our volunteers and supporters who continue to uplift communities through service.

Together, we can continue to inspire change—one child, one book, one act of kindness at a time.
