Swiwsco Orphanage Pantry Fundraising

The orphanage's pantry beforehand and we've managed to fill it with:.....


50kg maize; 20kg beans; 20kg rice; 10kg flour; 5kg sugar; 2kg salt and yeast; 10 litres cooking oil; soap for clothes and body washing; green beans, carrots, cabbage, tomatoe's, onions and eggplants.


Plus 3kg beef and 2 weeks worth of firewood so they can cook the food - everything is cooked in an outside area so firewood is crucial.

An exhausting mission at the markets... the kids loved it when I turned up with all the food in the boot of a taxi!!! Some carried sacks twice as heavy as what themselves - quite amazing!!
