On Saturday 8 June, the South Africa Community Food Bank (SACFB) hosted a day of nourishment and joy for 5 000 underprivileged children (from age five up) at the Moses Mabhida People’s Park. Our young people were included, and thoroughly enjoyed a fun-filled day. What child wouldn’t – with entertainment in the form of jumping castles, clowns and games?
Each child received a delicious, nutritious meal. Thy also participated in a wonderful educational seed planting activity, which provided valuable lessons on sustainability and the importance of caring for our environment. On top of all this, the children received gifts of clothing and games to take home.
During the day, there was a weight assessment service, which enabled us to check our children’s BMI and MAUC measurements. We’re glad to report that they are healthy and ‘on track’.
Thank you SACFB for allowing our children to be a part of this wonderful initiative.
