Mensch is the leading Jewish Social Justice Network in Southern Africa
Terri Marks is an attorney by profession, having graduated with a BComm LLB at Wits. She found her true passion though in the nonprofit sector 15 years ago. She serves on three nonprofit organisations (NPO) boards and has been a proud member of The Angel Network for the past seven years.
“This is the work that feeds my soul”
Members of the Angel Network share a common goal of restoring dignity to those most vulnerable and uplifting those in need; so that together we can make a real difference in the lives of so many through connecting acts of kindness.
The Angel Network is a registered NPO and PBO (public benefit organisation) run via the power of social media and volunteers. The organisation creates a gateway for giving a ‘hand up’ rather than a hand out, by facilitating and mobilising acts of kindness; supporting established welfare organisations in the areas of food security and sustainability, education, broad-based upliftment. They also assist with urgent disaster emergency appeals such as shack fires, floods and other emergencies.
Jethro Klitzner grew up in Cape Town, attended Herzlia, and is currently completing his final year of his first degree (BSocSci PPE – a triple major in Politics, Philosophy and Economics) at UCT.
“I want to move through the world making a positive impact”
He has been involved with Bnei Akiva for the last nine years initially as a chanich (participant) and now as a madrich (leader). Jethro is also an alum of the Diller Teen Fellowship on which he was a fellow and junior counsellor.
Jethro has a keen interest in food security (specifically permaculture and regeneration agriculture) and in city networks (water, transportation and social networks). He wants to be a part of facilitating positive change in these areas in Cape Town and in the world. Jethro is currently focusing his involvement in Bnei Akiva with a Mensch urban agriculture project where he is bringing Jewish Capetonian youth to learn about and volunteer with Mensch and the Langa community of urban farmers.
