A huge thanks to Janice Pearlman and all the people who assisted in the buying and wrapping of Christmas presents for all our kiddies… What a fun day was spent delivering presents and enjoying the parties for the festive season… The kiddies had such fun and each child was given a wrapped present with their names on it… they were thrilled and felt so happy and special !!! THAT’s what it’s all about !! FEED SA would like to wish all the people who have sponsored and donated during the year a VERY HAPPY, FANTASTIC NEW YEAR and a MERRY CHRISTMAS…. we look forward to feeding MORE bodies, minds and souls in the new year x x x
Last week, FEED SA was fortunate to have the Chesed Club from King David Sandton assist with the packing of sweets for all the FEED SA children for Christmas…
It was such a fun experience for all the kids who worked liked little machines !!
The children laughed and enjoyed every moment, and so much effort was put into creating the special packages !!
The kiddies from the Chesed Club shared in this day of creating a memorable and Merry Christmas for all the other children who will be receiving the sweetie packs.
A day of giving and receiving – that’s what it’s all about… as we continue to feed BODIES, MINDS and SOULS
We extend a HUGE thank you to all those who helped pack and created such a special day.
FEED SA and BOABAB Teachers went to visit all our crèches and were thrilled to see the wonderful, huge and amazing impact our Teacher Training is having on the Teachers, the crèches AND the children.
Our Teachers/Caregivers are so passionate about their training and all that they have learnt, as well as accomplished.
Though the crèches are small (most of them) – these incredible ladies have managed to arrange each space set out for the kiddies, from block and building corner, to books, to arts and crafts, dress up/fantasy play and interest tables!
The children are having much more fun and seem to be adjusting beautifully to their new environments in the crèches!
HUGE THANKS to Andy Berzon and all the Teachers from BOABAB for having such a brilliant impact on the FEED SA crèches… Here’s to continuing feeding BODIES, MINDS and SOULS!
FEED SA has finally, with the wonderful and generous sponsorship of Blue Strata, and the brilliant building work of Plumbers On Call , completed the building and renovations of Area Ganeng Pre School in Alexandra Township…
What started off as a little mukuku (shack) – with no classroom space, with just some wooden work for protection, as well as netting etc, and buckets for potties and no kitchen area – has ended up with TWO amazing size classrooms, separating the kids into age appropriate groups – a whole area with 6 toilets and basins AND a bath – a little kitchen and an office, as well as an amazing outside area with jungle gyms and all fun play things….
This has been such an exciting and well worthy project and we are very proud to announce the completion of it!
We extend our grateful thanks to all the staff at Blue Strata and to Eddie, who helped with the painting of the wonderful, colourful and fun painting of the outside of the crèche.
We hope to build many more as we continue to feed bodies, minds and souls!
Below you can see some before and after pictures.
Blue Strata has generously funded the building of AREA GANENG – one of our crèches in Alexandra Township
Area Ganeng is run by an amazing and brilliant woman named Rebecca, and her dream was to have separate classrooms so as to split the children attending the crèche into their appropriate age groups.
She also wanted to build toilets, allowing the children privacy and space to do their private business !!
After many meetings and presentations, FEED SA is ecstatic to announce that this project has been funded by Blue Strata – a Johannesburg based company, who has taken on Area Ganeng as their charity of choice, as well as for the monthly feeding scheme.
With the wonderful and QUICK work of Plumbers on Call, Area Ganeng has been rebuilt – according to Rebecca’s dream !!!!
We have been able to add on 2 more class rooms, as well as an office and 6 toilets, with basins AND one bath !!
The outside area will now have jungle gyms and space on which the children can run, play and ride !!
This has been an extremely exciting project and we are thrilled that we were able to complete this.
A HUGE thanks to Adam Orlin and the team at Blue Strata as well as Jarid Levin at Plumbers On Call..
Thank you for helping us make their dream a reality….. and for helping us to continue to feed bodies, minds and souls ……..
