Good Morning Angels: 'The Angel of Wolmer' gets support to help others in need
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
The angels come together to help Vitesh Hurinanthan, 'The Angel of Wolmer', who helps feed his community!
BACKGROUND: Vitesh Hurinanthan lives in Wolmer in Pretoria-North with his son and family. He has not had formal employment for a while. Despite his own financial shortcomings, Vitesh is a community man and humanitarian. He has taken it upon himself to help the hungry in this very poor community by cooking a meal for at least 600 people every Saturday. Come rain, cold or blistering heat, the people in the area have come to depend on Vitesh and his cooking, to provide often their only hot, nutritious meal of the week.

His feeding scheme is funded by himself, family, friends, and donations. Besides looking after the needy people in the area, Vitesh also cares for eight shelter dogs at home. And still, Vitesh wants to do more to improve the lives of those who are struggling - but his resources are stretched to the limit. That’s why his friend, Krishnee, reached out to Good Morning Angels for assistance.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Good Day
My Name is Krishnee Ganesh. I'm emailing you a short message with regard to a gentle soul named, Vitesh Hurinanthan.
This Man, with a team of family and friends, gets together every Saturday to feed the needy in his community - around 600 people. Come rain or blazing sun, he cooks on an outside fire. He does get help from family and friends to assist with the ingredients from time to time. This man is a very special person, he assists from the elderly to kids. This is his passion and he hopes to feed 1000 people in other communities as well.
So, I'm asking to bless this man and to bless his community with sponsorship towards his project of feeding. The reason I say this, is because he'd rather have to give to those in need, than for himself. We are looking for at least 3 gazebos and water containers with a tap, as its very hot and serving starts at midday. People start queuing from 11am.
I would like to invite your team out on a Saturday to assist and help. Thank you for your support.
Kind Regards,
Krishnee Govender
