School feeds the flock

KEETMANSHOOP
Keetmanshoop Junior Secondary school has been offering a soup kitchen to their learners for two years now. The staff said they saw the need in the lives of the children and had to do something.
The kitchen currently feeds 30 children from grade eight to 11 every day. Alternating groups of learners come to school daily.
"We get our food from donations from the school and other community members, but it's a hassle. We all try our very best to make sure that these children have at least one proper meal in a day," life skills teacher and coordinator of the project, Janine Diergaardt, said.
They hope to get more community members involved so that they can help the school feed Keetmanshoop one child at a time.
"I implore more Keetmanshoop residents to get involved in programmes like this because at the end of the day, we are helping empower these children and making sure they don't go hungry," she said.
To make a donation, contact the school at 063 224 005 and Diergaardt at 081 204 9537.
