Update: The second blanket distribution outreach trip is taking place this Thursday evening (14 June) starting at 6pm at Central Methodist Church in Jo’burg (corner of Pritchard & Smal streets). 1500 blankets have already been handed out - come along and help make an even bigger difference.

If you’re reading this blog post on a computer screen, there’s a good chance that you fall well within the 10% segment consisting of the wealthiest people on the planet. Here’s an opportunity to reach out and help someone sitting at the other end of the scale - someone who could use a little bit of extra warmth this winter.

“It is that time of year when we remember those who are less fortunate, sleeping outside in the cold. This time each year, Paballo collect blankets to distribute them to the homeless people in the inner city of Johannesburg.”

Paballo Ya Batho’s annual blanket distribution run in central Jo’burg is happening this Friday Thursday night, starting at 6pm. If you’d like to volunteer to be a part of the hand-out team, or if you have any old clothes or blankets to donate, please contact Ndai for details on 0829684543.
