Our annual Christmas Day Lunch with the homeless Landsdowne community

A very big THANK YOU to all our generous donors and volunteers who made the Christmas Day Lunch for the homeless Lansdowne community such a huge success and heartwarming experience!!
 
This was the 6th year doing this event and we are overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness, and enthusiasm that made this project possible. We had 22 volunteers assist at the event with transporting goods, setting up, serving food and gifting the community. Volunteers also cooked 180 meals which we served with cooldrink and treats. With the donations, we were able to purchase Yebo Fresh food packs containing non-perishable items as well as hygiene packs. 
 
We gifted the community photos from last year’s event which they were so excited about and had fun posing for more photos. Michael, the community leader, thanked us and was very appreciative of all our efforts. He celebrates his birthday on Christmas so it’s always an extra special day for him!
Thank you to everyone who contributed and touched the lives of this community. Our combined efforts brought joy and smiles to their faces and we couldn’t think of a better way to spend Christmas – see below link to the video on our Instagram page.

Renovations at Summit Primary School

The Art of Living Centre in Chatsworth currently use the Summit Primary school hall for follow ups, Satsang and courses. We became aware that there is a plumbing, painting and electrical need for the children’s toilets at the school and decided together with IAHV to raise funds for this project.

Hygiene is of utmost importance and if these basic needs of the children are not taken care of, then it has an adverse impact on their well-being and basic functionality.

On Saturday, 10th June, volunteers as well as folk from the community came together to restore and paint the children’s toilets.  Post Covid, this was our 1st project and the team came together with enthusiastic energy to serve, build and leave a lasting impact for the children.  A few weeks ago, the plumbing was also attended to and we are proud to share that now two taps are installed for the children to drink water from and the water is not being spilled onto their school shoes.

Some of the painting and the electrical work is still to be completed so we have set aside a 2nd day to complete this project on 24th June at 8am! Join us and be part of the movement to serve, instil and inspire human values!
