Mensch Youth Volunteer Day: Planting seeds of connection with Jewish youth and women urban farmers.
In the spirit of collaboration and Tikkun Olam, Mensch together with the JDC, an Israel-based leading global Jewish humanitarian organisation, proudly connected Bnei Akiva, Habonim and Netzer to volunteer, as one, at the SA Urban Food & Farming Trust (SAUFFT) Agrihub in Langa.
The Sunday began in the historic Old Shul where, against a backdrop of our Jewish roots, the farmers were proud to present the Agrihubโs mission. Madrichim then shared their movementโs identity as involved Jewish South Africans.
All then hopped on the coach for the trip to the small-scale farm in Langa. Split into teams, volunteers helped, and learnt how to prepare the farm beds, and plant and root the donated seedlings. These efforts saved the elderly women farmers weeks of hard work, ensuring farms are well prepared before the winter rains.
Keep an eye out to join Menschโs follow-up event at harvest time.
