Township Stories and Realities - African Proverb

 

“A single bracelet does not jingle.” — African proverb

It takes more than one hand clapping to make a sound, and it takes more than one person to keep a feeding scheme running. 

The mama stirring the pot, the driver dropping off vegetables, the volunteer washing dishes after — none of it works without all of it. 

Halfway through the week is a good time to remember that showing up, even in a small way, is never a small thing.

What's one small way you've shown up for someone this week? Tell us in the comments.

Township Stories and Realities - Gogo Thandi

 

Gogo Thandi is 68 and raising four grandchildren on her pension.

Her days start at 5am, boiling water for porridge before the youngest ones head to school. 

When her pension runs short before month-end, she used to skip meals herself so the children wouldn't notice. 

Since joining our feeding scheme's after-school programme six months ago, her grandchildren get a hot meal on weekday afternoons — one thing she no longer has to stretch her budget around. 

She still does the school run every morning, rain or shine, and jokes that her knees complain more than her grandchildren do.

Support keeps programmes like this one running for families like Gogo Thandi's.
