This week we experienced something beyond our imagination, how nothing in life is by mere chance even people we meet along the way. Do we ever ponder and think how we came alone in this world, how we meet many people within our lives, yet we will leave this world alone? Who we meet in our lives is therefore not by mere chance, it is part of the blessings of the Almighty for us to reflect, draw lessons from their wisdom and build a relationship which benefits ourselves and our communities. However, when depart from this world alone, our actions, the relationships we built and the hearts we touched will continue to echo long after we are gone.
When people come together, we are able to achieve things, that which we thought was initially impossible. This is the beauty of the Almighty, blessing us when there is togetherness and people are united. We all are striving to assist in the alleviation of poverty and hunger in our communities, with many foundations and individuals focusing on this key objective. We have realised that in order to make a greater impact in the lives of the impoverished and destitute, we need to come together to support one another. We need to realise that we are merely instruments of the Almighty being used to answer others prayers and that we can achieve more if we work together.
Yesterday we managed to feed 2,500 people of the communities of Manenberg, Lotus River, Athlone, Parkwood and Lavender Hill taking the total mouths fed to date to 46,550 people. With partnerships with Ayo Technology Solutions Limite we were able to provide pots to the Lavender Hill and Manenberg communities in order to equip people of these communities to continue feeding on a regular basis. The feeding initiative would not have been successful without the support of the kitchens in the communities. These two partnerships shows that the Almighty blesses initiatives where people work together.
We would like to thank all the sponsors and the team for your continuous support, May the Almighty continue to bless you and allow us to continue this journey in assisting those in need within our communities. As it is profoundly mentioned, if we pick up one end of the stick, we also pick up the other. This shows us that together we can uplift one another and achieve much more if we are unified than working alone.
Below are a few pictures of our feeding yesterday:
