The Cubs thoroughly enjoyed sitting and talking with the <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhoekeldercare.com\/nerina-gardens\/\">residents<\/a>, holding hands and sharing hugs, joy was spread and 67 Mandela minutes were spent well,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole Group (Meerkats, Cubs, Scouts and Rovers) were also tasked with a challenge to make 67 Jars of Hope which are meal jars that can feed four people per jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We set out with a goal of 67 Jars of Hope, and thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our members, we ended up with 210 jars, enough to provide 840 warm, nourishing meals. We\u2019re so grateful to everyone who took the time to contribute, and to those who helped with sorting and packing. It\u2019s a lovely reminder of what\u2019s possible when we come together as a community. What a meaningful way to start the term,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
