A heart for the community

Once again Martha proved just how big her heart really is. We were asked by one of our lovely customers if we’d help with a job that involved cutting material into strips for her client (Nando’s). It had nothing to do with Heartfelt products - they simply needed hands to help.

So we roped in some of the local ladies in the community and Martha put them to work. It was a huge job and the timings were incredibly tight. Martha – in true Martha fashion - jumped right in and made sure everyone was working and that the job got finished on time. She wasn’t earning anything for doing it – she just wanted to see that she could help and was grateful for the work she could bring to her community.

And when all the ladies got paid Martha sent me a message just to tell me how happy she was that she could help those women and their families and that her heart nearly burst when one of the ladies came to her the next day to say that she will use the money she earned to buy her children clothes for Christmas. Otherwise they would be getting nothing.

It made me think how lucky the children of Makapanstad are to have a Martha out there willing to work for 'mahala' so that their mothers can get food on the table. And how Martha has certainly taught me when you have a big heart - all you truly need is LOVE! Ta da da da da. . .
