Big Issue
Thirst Bar services is known for some high-profile events in South Africa and is always a well-known brand at any glamorous function, however Thirst found an opportunity to give back to the community in Cape Town, when the Big Issue magazine approached Thirst to invent two healthy non-alcoholic cocktails, to serve to underprivileged people who were being tested for all kinds of diseases in order to get them help in treating them; these people are the same ones who sell the magazine on the side of the road for the Big Issue. Thirst jumped at the chance to give back to the less fortunate people and offered their bars free of charge, the day was fantastic and people who really needed help managed to get it. Well done to everyone involved. 13 Jul 2009 Read more
