Johannesburg, South Africa — Jo Maxwell created an innovative way to keep the homeless warm. Everything began while she was out doing charity work, and she detected street kids had shoddy, practically useless blankets.
She went home and looked at what resources she had in the home and started experimenting with plastic bags, paper and enthusiast tape. After several hours, Joe made several prototypes. She finalised her design utilising recycled, thick plastic totes and ten layers of newspaper.
The result has been a sleeping bag that is warm and waterproof and easy to carry out. It worked out that the expenses of one of those innovative sleeping bags are just R 6.00.
After she had her prototype sorted, Jo began teaching folks how to make the visiting charities and the likes to inspire people. Her layout was so revolutionary, and she was featured on the Design Indaba’s website. Additionally, it highlights how to make a bag.
For Mandela Day, Kingsmead College at Rosebank, Johannesburg hosted a Make-and-Donate-a-Sleeping-Bag effort in partnership with Community Hours, an NGO that facilitates and manages community support activities.
They invited people to join them in making sleeping bags to the homeless.
The Glass Recycling Company combined the school as a portion of their Mandela Day 67 minutes.
“Madiba spent his life in service to the country, and it is important for all South Africans to adopt an attitude of service towards others and the country,” explained TGRC CEO, Shabeer Jhetam throughout the action
. “I am excited about our team participating in this ingenious recycling endeavour on Mandela Day. We believe that as conscientious citizens, we can all make a difference by making small but important choices daily, to make the world a better place.”
We also spoke to other men and women who attended the event. It received praise for being an innovative and enjoyable way to do good with an enduring impact.
