What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead” – Nelson Mandela
The Tales of Turning project manager united with the Vodacom team to commemorate Nelson Mandela Day. To honor the legacy of Nelson Mandela, Vodacom staff members and volunteers from across Durban worked together to help provide food security to families in need. With enthusiasm and efficiency the volunteers packed food parcels which contained a range of items including peanut butter, Ace Maize Meal and Koo mixed vegetables.

In a further initiative Vodacom Staff Members joined Stop Hunger Now to support the organization in eradicating world hunger. The Vodacom team and Tales of Turning project manager dedicated 67 minutes to attend the meal packing event hosted by Stop Hunger Now at the Durban ICC. The initiative provides fully balanced meals to pre-school children which is vital to their holistic development. Much fun and laughter went into the event as the corporate teams showed their competitive edge in packing thousands of food parcels. The Mandela Day Million Meal Challenge was an incredible opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of young children in South Africa.
