It's not too late to donate R67 for Mandela Day

Mandela Day has come and gone, and if you battled for find a spare 67 minutes to do something good, it's not too late to join in with the Two Oceans Aquarium's charity initiative. Many of the children living in Cape Town have never seen the sea, despite being so close to it. Many will never have the chance to see animals in the wild, and experience the wonder of the ocean. Donate R67 for a disadvantaged child to visit the Aquarium, where they will enjoy a fun-filled day of classroom learning and exploring our exhibits. Click here to donate.
