The Almighty can be described by the name Al-Wahhab in Arabic which means, the Giver of All. This name describes one of the qualities of our Creator in terms of His generosity in giving plenty without expecting anything in return, but have we ever contemplated regarding the lessons we can draw from implementing this quality in our lives?
We can reflect on this quality in two ways, the first is upon receiving and the second relates to giving. When one looks at this quality from the perspective of oneself, this should create contentment, gratitude and appreciation within ourselves as we realise how our lives have been blessed in many ways by the numerous bounties the Almighty has bestowed upon us, both big and small. However, when it comes to giving, many people have realised the need of giving, whether it be helping a hungry person with a plate of food, someone suffering from financial difficulties or by an act of kindness even if it be saying a kind word or a smile.
Sometimes our struggles prevent us from realising our blessings and distracts us from being contented. Whilst distributing today many kids already started asking when we will be coming again, therefore to create self awareness we should start by recognising people less fortunate than ourselves and recognise how we have been blessed.
Today we fed approximately 3,000 people from the communities of Vrygrond, Khayelitsha, Bonteheuwel, Ottery, Lavender Hill and Parkwood. Additionally, the Belhar kitchen fed the communities of Valhalla Park and Belhar. Recently we decided to pilot another kitchen in Kuilsriver feeding the communities of Kuilsriver and Wesbank, we welcome more kitchens to join our family as we look to serve many other communities in the future. All this could not have been achieved without the team, volunteers and generous sponsors, we appreciate your support in being generous with your wealth and time.
See below a few pictures of the feedings today and earlier this week.
