“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …” Charles Dickens
At times like these, when the world is in crisis, we will see the best and the worst of people. In this time of panic, people will hoard toilet paper and hand sanitiser but watch this space... the majority of people will also come together and rally around community and that is the beauty of the human race.
With the worldwide shut down due to the Covid-19 virus we have postponed all events for the foreseeable future.
We have suspended our sport and academic activities in line with the shut-down of schools, however, we feel we cannot shut down the feeding programme when the community is at its most vulnerable and will continue to provide food as long as it is safe to do so. We could not go on without mentioning our partners who have jumped into action to ensure our children get fed. First and foremost, the Shoprite group have offered access to their Soup Truck as part of their #ActForChange initiative and this will ensure that each child receives soup and bread each day - they have gone over and above and assisted with additional unforeseen expenses. Thank you Shoprite Holdings - you certainly do ACT FOR CHANGE. Leon Glanvill, Housemaster of School House at Bishops Diocesan College has opened their kitchen so that we can safely store the food. The City of Cape Town will be working with our staff to ensure that this is rolled out responsibly with social distancing enforced - the health and safety of our children and staff is our priority.
