2 April 2010 – Foodbank South Africa donated food to the Benjamin Dube Foundation on the 1st April 2010, which was distributed to 25 children in Silahliwe Squatter camp near Meyerton. Children were so happy do receive food parcels during Easters. It was a great gift for them. “We thank Foodbank for the commitment and support for our children.” Said one happy parent. It feels good to see children smiling carrying food in their hands. We appreciate what Foodbank is doing and we hope for a long term partnership between the 2 organisations.
3rd April 2010 – Under the Benjamin Dube Foundation, I and my wife embarked on “Servolution Programme”. We went around washing dirty clothes for the kids. We washed for 3 familiies about 950 pieces of dirty clothes; I mean very dirty clothes. People were amazed to see a man washing clothes for the children. The children were very happy to see their uncle washing clothes for them. They were watching with smiles and willing to assist doing the washing. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t reach to all houses around the squatter camp, but we were happy to show practical love to the kids. “This is amazing!” said a mother of five kids who brought a big load of clothes from the shack house.
4th April 2010 – On this day, we embarked on making a food garden for the kids’ project. We managed to work for 6 hours. Our aim is to plant vegetables for the children.
On the same day, the bretheren from High Praise Church came to the squatter camp to distribute niknaks and sweets to the children and arranged for the next day to come and be with them the whole day.
5th April 2010 – Onother day for the children. The Christian sisters (2) from High Praise Church came with hotdogs, sweets and drinks and distributed to the kids.
