Dear friends
It is with gratitude and excitement that I am writing to you today to give you an update on our Nutrition programme which you are making possible for us through your contributions!
As you are aware, the food parcels are distributed to those most vulnerable in the community. Every day they arrive and wait patiently for their turn to receive this life giving food. We are always looking for ways of improving services to the community and thought of ways we can better occupy their time while they are in the queue waiting.
This has led to the start of the “Gogo Club”. (“Gogo” is a loving term used to describe a granny.) We have discovered great talents in the elderly ladies from Missionvale! Armed with knitting needles and some wool, they now keep busy making the most beautiful items including scarves, headbands, gloves and beanies – even handbags! It is amazing to see their creations and they are so enjoying having something to do while they wait!
This is incredibly special to us to see as many of these ladies were so weak before they came onto our Nutrition Programme, that they would definitely not have been able to do anything like this before. Seeing the difference in them makes us realise again how much of an impact your generous contributions make in this special community. So on behalf of all the people in Missionvale, and especially the gogo’s, thank you for continuing to believe in us. Your support means everything.
