The customers started queuing at 07:30 in the morning – even
though the gates would only be opened at 10:30, and we knew it was going to be
a good day! It’s the 28th of
August 2010 and we’re holding one of Nkanyezi’s regular jumble sales at the school for
children with multiple disabilities grounds in Orlando West, Soweto. The sales
are held to supplement the small funding that is received from the government
and is necessary to cover costs from food to toilet paper and fire hydrants.
This jumble sale was the biggest and best yet though as we had the widest range
of jumble to sell and shattered our previous jumble sale record of R2000 by
more than 50%, raising a total of R3040. To round off the successful day all
helpers celebrated with a braai and few drinks afterwards in the sun and spent
the time strategising about how to make the next jumble sale
even bigger and better! So thanks to all those who donated jumble and helped
out on the day, and hope to see you all and more at the next jumble sale –
watch this space for details!
