We received a enormous amount of varied food items this week; ranging from soup tins to juice to breakfast cereals etc. Both young and old(er) got involved in making parcels for distribution to those in need.

Showers of…cheese!
Boxes and boxes of cheese, totaling over fifteen thousand packets (3200 kg!) were distributed during the last two days, thanks to a generous donation from a local import company. Among the many recipients were the grateful patients of three different HIV/TB clinics who were thrilled with their ‘Easter gift’ of cheese, hot-cross buns and cool-drinks. Over a dozen other centers and feeding schemes -feeding thousands -also benefited from this nutritious blessing.
Staples for Underprivileged Preschool
This local preschool takes in children from low-income and underprivileged families, making it possible for them to have an early eduction they would otherwise lack. We help them cut down their operating costs and improve the children’s lives through regular donations of food, clothes, and educational materials. Today, we brought them fresh vegetables for cooking and some hot cross buns – which the children gazed at in happy anticipation!
Our Daily Bread
On a regular basis, five to six days a week, we collect and deliver bread items to those who need it. From rolls to loaves, from pizzas to pies, we usually deliver these fresh staples to up to eleven different centers. Just one month into the new year and so far 9014 of these items have been distributed!
