Help ensure no child is malnourished in Wentworth
Despite Wentworth Angels closing its doors due to personal circumstances affecting Williams, Leo has been at the forefront of keeping the organisations legacy alive while helping ensure that children in his community have access to free and nourishing meals.
DESPITE the organisation which she opened to assist the community closing its doors, Tracey Williams has been continuing to work closely with other organisations to benefit the Wentworth community.
Williams, the founder of Wentworth Angels which ceased operations last year, has been hands on with providing assistance at the K1 bike park.
Williams is assisted by her son, Leo Lee Wright, who has been actively keeping the legacy of his mom’s organisation called Wentworth Angels alive by helping make lunch for children who are underprivileged at his school. The Grade 8 PR Pather Secondary School learner, who lost his dad two years ago, makes sandwiches with his mom, Tracy Williams, and uses his own money to purchase items for community initiatives he finds close to his heart.

“We have been assisting with meals and whatever we can get to enhance their programmes. From Monday to Saturday, there is an average of 25 children who utilize the park and during weekends, the park hosts about 40 children. A meal is provided when we receive donations,” said Williams.
Facilities at the bike park are free to all the children in the community and youth also have access to skilled couches.
“I have also been contacted by a school in the area to assist with meals or sandwiches for 65 children. We hope sponsors come on board to help feed the hungry tummies of children in our community,” added Williams.
Items such as peanut butter, jam, polony, sugar beans, bake beans, rice, butter, bread or any other items which can be used to make a meal or sandwich can be donated.
For more information or to donate, contact Tracey Williams on 074 703 1393.
