JAMBO contributed $315 to Abalimi Bezekhaya. This is an organization working with development and environmental restoration in Cape Flats. Cape Flats is an impoverished area outside Cape Town which was partitioned as a “Black” residential area under the apartheid regime. Due to poor management, overcrowding, and the unjust policies of the apartheid era, Cape Flats became environmentally devastated. Abalimi Bezekhaya is working to “re-green” the area by promoting gardening and tree planting efforts.

These funds come from you, the participants of JAMBO, Thank you very much.

The ability to shift perspective can be one of the most powerful and effective tools we have to help us cope with life’s daily problems.
If you look from a different angle, then surely the person who caused this anger in you will have a lot of other positive aspects, positive qualities. If you look carefully, you will also find that the act which has made you angry has also given you certain opportunities, something which otherwise would not have been possible, even from your point of view.
