On Monday,18 July 2011, the world came together to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 93rd birthday, by donating 67 minutes of their time to community service. This year, ON TAP joined Green Communities and spent 67+ minutes, helping to finish the "extreme makeover" of the SACLA Disabled Home. The team of dedicated ON TAP staff members headed out to Khayelitsha on Monday morning, and set to work repairing the buildings and grounds. Along with community volunteers, they spent the day hard at work planting trees, setting up a vegetable garden and clearing the grounds around the SACLA center. ON TAP further extended a helping hand by contributing an extensive list of much needed plumbing supplies, including all fittings for the geyser, and thereby helping to complete the IOPSA project.
By late Monday afternoon, every last fence post had been planted and pipe fitting attached, and Mr Robin Carlisle, Minister of Public Works and Transport, could finally step up to cut the ribbon. Madiba doll in hand, Mr Carlisle declared the SACLA center reopened, to the immense delight of everyone involved. This joyous moment follows eight months of hard work and maintenance by IOPSA, sponsors and volunteers from the community. ON TAP is proud and thankful for the opportunity to have been part of such a wonderful initiative.
