The world may be getting smaller but it still takes a day to fly from Toronto to Johannesburg, South Africa. We arrived quite late but Sanette, from Rotary Club of Johannesburg, greeted us at the hotel. On our first full day, Sanette, with Sizwe, Nobesuthu (Nobes), and our driver, Linden, welcomed us as we toured Europa Foam. The sprawling facility, which employs 100 to 150 workers, provides mattresses for the children. Nisha was our guide.
Our next stop was Rainbow Blankets, where we met Mehmet, the owner. The company has been in operation for 30 years and produces 10,000 blankets a year.
After lunch overlooking the scenic golf course at Eagle Canyon, the SCAW team of four met to prepare, followed by a meeting with Sanette and other local partners.
We are happy to be in South Africa and looking forward to this distribution and to a fruitful ongoing partnership with Rotary Club of Johannesburg.
