On Saturday 1st December it was World Aids Day and The Tomorrow Trust were celebrating in Nelson Mandela Square with the support of BSG by hosting a paint party. It was a fabulous day that allowed the Tomorrow Trust to create awareness of the work we do, promote the stories of the children and the mothers through the sale of Kim Feinberg’s publications, Tomorrow and A Mother’s Legacy and to have fun!

The paint party was hugely successful with many of the Tomorrow Trust students starting the artwork with the support of our graphic artist, Fundo. Kevin Adno from Lounge Around donated a sofa, which was also painted and will be auctioned to raise funds. The 2007 Idols finalists also came and painted a canvas and met the students from the Tomorrow Trust.

The celebrations continued into the evening with carols by candlelight guided by Richard Cock and the Symphony Choir of Johannesburg and the Jo’burg Festival Orchestra. Coupled with this were the voices of Claire Johnston and Loyiso Bala who led everyone through their favourite Christmas songs. The finale was then performed by Mango Groove who played some of their best-known numbers. It was a great evening and fun was had by all.

The Tomorrow Trust would like to say a huge thank you to Nelson Mandela Square and BSG who helped make the event possible. It was a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of the Tomorrow Trust and generate funds to enable us to continue the work we do.
