On the 17th of May, we visited Peas in a Pod Urbanvest Foundation. Peas in a Pod is a special Place of Safety for victims of abuse. The girls are aged between 2 and 17. There are 15 girls and 3 housemothers that take care of them. And we had an amazing day interacting with the children through music, indigenous games and endless laughter. I can attest that a smile is contagious because not only are they talented and smart but they are also joyful children full of love.
We donated tinned food and toiletry items to support the amazing work that the caregivers are doing.
We also had an opportunity to support a UP student in need last week Friday, we were able to give the student some of the donated items and connect the student to other supportive facilities at the University of Pretoria .I am grateful we could lend a hand when it was needed most.
Huge thanks to UP’s Student Nutrition and Progress Programme (SNAPP), UP's Reach Out And Give(UP_RAG), and my awesome Commercii team for their contributions for the betterment of this student.
