“We received donations from several sponsors and without them this feeding scheme would not be possible,” says San.
They feed the school children daily with the assistance of Priscilla Sisulu and one or two teachers.
“We know each child and their circumstances very well,” she says.
The children enjoyed chicken and rice for lunch as well as ice-cream for dessert.
Olga dressed up as Father Christmas, much to the enjoyment of the children.
San and Olga handed out a gift to each child to take home.
