“We as an organisation are always doing community work.
“Last year we did food hampers for people living in squatter camps.
“This year we decided to do this because of the situation in Cape Town.
“The response from the community has been excellent.
“We will have other projects during the year.
“This is only for this month,” says Ritasha Singh, a member of the organisation.
