Transcript of 110909 Provision Xhasa News
“We observed some of our learners starving, school uniforms in bad shape
and unable to pay school fees.”
Andile Nyanda
Kwa Ntebeni Comprehensive High School - Nyuswa
Why did we start this project.• No learner can
concentrate on an empty stomach!
• We felt ashamed and decided to do something.
• Because of our age we needed a mentor.
• After a few missed Wednesday meals from Richdens Spar, it finally came.
Our first food to feed the hungry
Tackling a problem – never give up!
• We discussed this with Mr Gwala, Headmaster of Kwantebeni, and he consented.
• We found a Mentor: Linda Locke.
• We went to Makhaphuthu Orphanage looking for help.
When did all this start?• During September/October 2011 we added a
new group.• Meetings were held and debates took place.• Makaphutu gives us soup to feed the starving –
once a week.• Sometimes we get bread from “Friends of the
Community” to add to the diet.
Our next step
• The starving children have hungry people at home.
• So, we started a vegetable garden, with sponsorship by Light Providers (NGO).
• We work it ourselves.• We feed more and more
people.
The Garden
• We, as Grade 11 learners are not only running this project, but are also establishing a vegetable garden.
• We do have problems, who doesn't? Ours are goats!!!!!! They love our vegetables so we need fencing urgently.
Industry is also getting involved.
One of our members, Sphelele Phewa’s mother works at a sock factory and her company sponsors school socks to boys and girls in need.
