THOKOMALA's support services and activities depend to a great extent on the availability of volunteers. THOKOMALA provides a great channel for concerned individuals to donate their time and skills.
Community volunteers are actively involved in tutoring children, renovating and equipping the homes, running support groups and raising funds. They also play an important social role by taking children on outings during school holidays and organising birthday and Christmas parties. Volunteers help with the set up of vegetable gardens and maintenance of the yards.
We have a veritable “sports club” where individuals secure sponsorship and run major marathons for THOKOMALA like the Comrades or London & New York Marathons, others paddle in surf ski or canoe races like the Dusi Canoe Marathon.The annual Midmar Mile, which is the biggest swimming event in South Africa, generated many thousands of Rands through sponsorship by Unilever employees over a number of years, as did invitational breakfasts organised by volunteers.
