Township Stories & Realities - Gogo Precious

 

Gogo Precious is 75. 

She's raising three great-grandchildren on a pension that was never built to stretch this far.

Their parents work seasonal jobs two towns over and send what they can, when they can. 

Gogo Precious manages the rest — the school uniforms, the taxi fare, the meals in between.

 The afternoon feeding session at the community hall means the children eat something hot before she's even home from the clinic queue. 

She says she's managed this long because she has to, not because it's been easy, and she'd rather talk about her great-grandchildren's school marks than her own week.

The afternoon feeding sessions run on sponsorships like these. Link below to help keep a plate on the table for families like Gogo Precious's.

Pillar: Township Stories & Realities - Nonhlanhla is 10

 

Nonhlanhla is 10. This week, for the first time, she has a book that belongs to her and nobody else.

It's a small, worn picture book, donated by a family across town, and she has already read it twice. 

Until now, the only books she's seen up close were the shared classroom copies, three learners to a desk.

We're setting up a small reading corner next to the feeding point — a few shelves, a stack of donated books, somewhere for kids to sit after they've eaten.

It won't fix a stretched school library on its own, but it means Nonhlanhla has somewhere to go with a book in her hands, and that's new.

We're collecting children's books and shelving to get the corner started. Link below if you'd like to donate or drop some off.
