Helping victims of xenophobia in South Africa & my menu plan for the week

Hi everyone

It's a beautiful winter's day in Joburg - ice-cold but sunny!

I can't help thinking about the victims of the xenophobic violence in South Africa - homeless or staying in tents with almost no clothes or blankets. My heart just bleeds for them.

I have a gardener working for me who is one of those victims - last Monday when he was there I gave him some towels and Dion gave some clothes. I now have had some more time to think and I've put some more stuff together for him, including some toiletries, jackets, etc.

For South Africans who read this blog
This is a GREAT time to declutter.

I always find that when there's someone in need, it's a lot easier to get rid of things. Remember to ask yourself, "who can use this today?" instead of saying "I might need this someday".

**This morning on Radio 702, they were asking the public in particular for clothes and blankets. Of course food and other goods are also very welcome.

Thanks for reading...
