On Saturday Oct 6, Zimele USA hosted a day and an evening cruise along the Hudson to raise money for our programs in South Africa.

The weather was beautiful providing all of the attendees beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline.

Throughout each of the 3 hour cruise, our 35+ guests were treated to a wonderful pan asian gourmet menu catered by the Scent of Jasmine catering company.

Not only did everyone have a great time but in the process we raised over $5,000!

We would like to give a shout out to Bill Hwang and Elliot Kang for donating the use of their yacht to host our event and to Scent of Jasmine for providing the catering free of charge. As a result of their generosity, 100% of the money raised went directly to fund our programs in South Africa.

Thank you to all of our guests for coming out and supporting us!

Here are a few more pics from the cruise. Hope you enjoy!
