Township Stories & Realities - The reading corner

 


Four years ago, Zanele queued for a food parcel with her younger brothers in tow. This week, she read a picture book aloud to twelve children at the new corner.

Zanele kept coming back after her family's situation improved, first to help pack parcels, then to keep an eye on the younger kids after school. 

When we started talking about the reading corner, she was the first to put her hand up to run informal storytime sessions twice a week. 

She says she remembers exactly what it felt like to be the kid on the other side of the table, and it's part of why she shows up.

Township Stories & Realities - Food Security

 


From the CLR Foundation, we thank every donor for their support, which helps us to continue visiting the townships and making a difference. 

 For R120, a child gets a hot afternoon meal every weekday for a week.

The afternoon session is the one that catches kids like Gogo Precious's great-grandchildren — the gap between the school day ending and a parent or guardian getting home.

 It's smaller than our main lunch programme, run out of the community hall by two volunteers, but it closes a real gap for the families who rely on it.

Sponsor a week of afternoon meals through the link below.
