YALE locked into a Mandela Day effort

Young Adults Learning and Earning (YALE), is an organisation that caters to the needs of Jewish adults unable, because of learning disabilities, to find employment in the open market or live independently.

YALE, which has a sheltered workshop in Sandringham and a residence in Rouxville, where these adults work and live with limited supervision, also did their bit for Mandela Day, in the spirit of ubuntu. It handed over five blankets and packets of lids and tags it had collected.

YALE has been part of Sweethearts Foundation for two years. Sweethearts, the wheelchair foundation, collects plastic bottle tops and bread tags that get recycled. With the money received, they are able to purchase and supply wheelchairs to those unable to afford it. This gives the people “the gift of movement”.

YALE is ready to collect for the next presentation.
