Poor Children

Last week I had the opportunity to start working with a Non-Proift Organization " Project feed the Children" dedicated to feeding children in various disadvantaged areas in and around Benoni.My job will be to assist and train their team of pastoral counsellors in trauma support. Arriving at the informal settlement outside Putfontein my heart was touched by the young children standing in the line waiting for what will probably be their only meal for the day. One little boy arrived with a plastic container, filled it with  a warm meal and walked back to his home. I realized how lucky my boys were. Anytime they are hungry, they can go to the fridge, cupboard and get something to eat. Not this boy. He was possibly taking food back to his family to share with them. He was only two years old, the same age as my youngest. My heart wept that there is still such evident poverty in South Africa!

Social Activism

We all complain about crime in South Africa. When one is exposed to the challenges and social ills experienced by a vast majority of South Africans such as lack of services, no food, no education, and a lack of stimulating development for young children, one realises that the answer to many of our problems lies in us helping those less fortunate than ourselves such as the child pictured above.

Make a difference today,

South Africa needs it desperately!
