SA Chef Association Gauteng chapter holds a Christmas party for GAP College

Each child received a packet with juice, chips, a cupcake, sweets and a hotdog.

The South African Chef Association Gauteng chapter held a Christmas party for GAP College learners on December 3.

The children said a prayer before receiving the packets.

Chefs from several different restaurants and students from Capsicum Culinary Studio in Rosebank ensured the learners received a special surprise.

Shannon Cassim and Sue Atkins from CS Contential meats donated cheese grillers and helped during the day with various tasks.

The school was established in 2017 by Dr Tracey Stewart with two children and has now grown to 72 learners.
Whitney Reinecke, secretary for the school, said, “We are also the only school in the South of Johannesburg to incubate FET phase learners into sheltered employment.

In addition to the above, we also host a youth development and incubation programme where we seek funding and bursaries for postgraduate students to complete their master’s degree while gaining practical skills by working in our environment.

Our ECD phase is the fastest-growing sector of the school, and we are in desperate need of assistance to continue our vital work in our community.

The chefs are inspecting every packet to ensure every child receives the same treats.

“Our children are challenged with low to mid-functioning autism, functional cerebral palsy, neuro-behaviourally disordered children and children with global developmental delays as a result of foetal alcohol syndrome.
