GMA Coronavirus Support: Helping Rina and Villa Gloria feed the homeless in Krugersdorp West

BACKGROUND:  Rina Hibbert from Randfontein, is involved with a pre-school at an informal settlement of 125 structures, in Krugersdorp West called Villa Gloria. This is home to around 300 people, who have nowhere else to go. Rina got involved after one of her very good friends, lived there for a while. Rina says her friend lost her husband and her job and before they knew it, they were homeless. Rina is involved with the little pre-school on the grounds. The children go to this little school, while their parents are out and about looking for work, doing car guarding or any other jobs they can find. During lockdown this is not possible, and Rina has taken it upon herself to find food donations to provide at least two meals a day.

Goeiemôre. Ons kom vra vanoggend met amper lee hande om hulp. 

Ons skooltjie is op die gronde van Villa Gloria, Krugersdorp Wes, en vandat die lockdown begin het, het ons vir die, kinders, oumense, jongmense,  grootmense, van Villa Gloria elke dag 'n bord gekookte kos gegee. Saterdag, middag ete, het ons 192 borde kos en Saterdag-oggend 75 borde pap. In totaal het ons vir Saterdag, 11 April 2020,  267 borde kos uit gedeel.  Hier is omtrent 300 mense wat hier woon wat kinders, oumense, jongmense en grootmense insluit.

Ons kaste is so te se leeg. Ons het genoeg vir nog 2-3 dae se kos uit deel. 
Baie van hierdie mense se manier van inkomste verdien is weggeneem deur die lockdown en kan hulle glad nie 'n inkomste verdien nie. So die sopkombuis by die skool is hulle uit weg om kos te kry. Ons kom pleit en vra vir enige donasies waarmee ons vir hierdie mensies kan kos maak. 

Ons gee pap met suiker in die oggende, sodat die kinders nie met honger magies loop nie en dan middagete.
Ons vra dat julle, jul harte sal oop maak en ons help met enige donasies sodat hierdie kinders, oumense, grootmense nie honger opstaan of honger gaan slaap nie. 

Mag die Here julle oop harte seën.
