We celebrated the arrival of Spring with a lively market day at The Conservatory building in Rosebank, supporting the San Salvador Home for Intellectually Impaired Adults and Sally’s Protective Workshop.
San Salvador and Sally’s Workshop, based in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, is a non-profit organization that provides residential facilities for women with intellectual disabilities and a protective workshop for the intellectually disabled community in Alexandra Township.
For this special Spring Day event, the talented individuals from San Salvador and Sally’s Workshop displayed their beautifully handmade items. The market featured a range of crafts, including woven bags, table runners, knitted toys, baby blankets, purses, earrings, beaded necklaces, and handmade cards. The event aimed to raise funds for their workshop and was a great success, with R7,400 raised from sales.
Alongside the market, each Conservatory employee received a decorated cup with a succulent, adding R10,000 to the total. This event highlighted the power of community collaboration, showing how we can come together to support and uplift those in need.
