Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s belief that education is the most powerful weapon one can use to change the world, the WESSA team in Johannesburg, spent their 67 minutes and more on 18 July, at Orlando Children’s Home in Soweto.

Skilled in education training, our team engaged the children through ECD-focused activities, ensuring that their attention was held with games and a lively puppet show, with an eco-friendly twist (of course). #EducateAdvocateAct

Mandela Day Activities

Promoting conservation and environmental education

Our goal? Stay true to our core mission and promote conservation and environmental education, that inspires future generations to be environmental stewards.

In addition, we donated non-perishable essentials to support the home’s ongoing efforts, and we would like to thank the Nestlé Nespresso SA team for adding a touch of sweetness to the day.

Our Head of HR, Melenie Parsons noted that, “At WESSA, we care for the Earth and its future stewards. By nurturing young children, we’re planting seeds for a sustainable tomorrow. Thank you to our team for championing early childhood education and community upliftment in the spirit of Ubuntu!”

As Nelson Mandela once urged, “It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.”
