Amazing work in Alexandra
I had the pleasure of meeting a great crew from feedback yesterday
Feedback are a team of commited individuals who redistribute excess food to communities that are in need. In this particular case we went to supply our multivitamins to a home that supplies meals to 320 orphaned and abandoned kids, some who are hiv positive. It was the most amazing experience for me as although I do not live a sheltered life, I had not actually driven into a township and met with a group of people and been taken into their home………
I met with the most amazing group of caregivers who take care of all of these children 2- 18 yrs. Some kids live on the premises and others just come into the home to get meals.
And the meals are freshly prepared each day using loads of fresh ingredients all donated - covers, a sandwich company servicing the Sandton area, drop off sandwiches daily for example.
The kids get porridge in the morning, hot lunches and dinner (The food I saw them preparing was better than most kids in the Northern suburbs are eating!). It’s great to see that there are some very generous companies doing their bit- and not all of them are big.
