The Isaacs family and one of our ex-learners, Mikaeel Petersen, also helped us.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 14-member team consisting of learners, family members and staff were tasked with distributing the soup and loaves of bread on the day.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head girl Shammah Chafa said it was an honour to play her part in uplifting the community.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Being a part of such an impactful event was sort of satisfying knowing that someone&#8217;s life was made better even though it was just for a few hours or minutes,&#8221; she said. &#8220;A big thanks to our teacher Musfiqa Simon for being at the forefront of supporting us and Empowering Eats for the donation. It made our Mandela Day initiative what it was and a bigger thanks to the school for all the support.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark said she was extremely proud of her learners for being part of the initiative during their school holidays and ensuring the event was a success.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are fortunate to have teachers who go above and beyond for our school and the wider community. One of our core values is giving back, which this project truly reflects. A heartfelt thank you to Musfiqa Simon for leading this effort and bringing our learners together, and sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed and supported this drive.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The soup kitchen was also assisted through donations from Empowering Eats, Blue Ribbon, and other sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img
