Social Media for Social Good - Charity Drive 



The Mama Lumka Charity is a project that has always been close to our hearts. Mama Lumka is one
of those unique and inspirational people who gives back every day- by founding and running a Sanctuary for abused and AIDS infected children in South Africa. Through the inspiration of Jenny King, Fundraising Luncheons were arranged- the last such function managed to raise over $20'000 -which was used to build a bakery which provided the Sanctuary with food and funds as well as creating  employment and training for members of the local community.


We recently received news from Jenny who just visited Mama Lumka and this is what she wrote:


"We visited them yesterday and they are doing so well but they lost 50% of their sponsorship when one of the big corporations said they could no longer support them. They were absolutely devastated but have since managed to find a few more donors so they are able to keep going but with more severe financial constraints".


Hearing this Irma got the idea to start the project "Social Media for Social Good for Mama Lumka". Irma is taking her family to South Africa and she wants her 2 daughters (aged 12 and 16) to visit Mama Lumka and the children. She hopes that this will allow the girls to gain a new perspective and insight into how privileged we all are and to share her and her family's experience with you through her Blog and website.


Irma now returned and we hope you'd like to be involved and share this experience with her and all of us! It is all about using Social Media to raise awareness, get people involved and make a difference to a very worthwhile charity.


For those who have already contributed a heartfelt thanks. Please feel free to follow the blog to follow the story and see first hand where your contribution is going. 



Irma and Yvonne
