The sky was filled with as kite flyers from around the world gathered in Khayelitsha in the run-up to the annual festival, which raises funds for one of South Africa's oldest mental health organisations, Cape Mental Health (CMH). The organisation has worked for the last 100 years to provide mental health services to adults and children in poorly-resourced Western Cape communities and runs three special education centres, including Khayelitsha's Imizamo Yethu Special Care Centre. One of the oldest schools in Khayelitsha, Imizamo Yethu caters for nearly 90 children living with severe mental disabilities who get to enjoy the kites almost every year. "We see their faces lighting up when they hold onto the string of a kite," said CMH Deputy Director Santie Terblanche. "They feel empowered and like they can change the world because they are actually controlling something ... it just makes their day."
