Join "Traditions & Treasures," a monthly gathering where members share personal stories, traditions, crafts, and cultural treasures from their heritage. Through show-and-tell and interactive presentations, we celebrate diversity, spark curiosity, and deepen appreciation for our international community.
February meeting
Some people grow up with superheroes from comic books. Growing up in South Africa, Ansuyah’s hero didn’t wear a cape, he wore a warm smile and an unshakable sense of hope. NELSON MANDELA!
Nelson Mandela’s profound influence was woven into everyday life. Beneath the history, there was a man who carried kindness, humor, and generosity wherever he went. As Ansuyah takes us on a journey with him through Long Walk To Freedom (autobiography of Nelson Mandela), she will share personal memories and reflections from her life in the 80s and 90s, when South Africa was changing and so was she.
