The hunger relief organisation aimed to get 6 700 people together to offer 67 minutes of their time to make items that nourish, nurture and grow children at Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) in disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To partake in the event volunteers had to purchase a ticket and indicate which activity they would be doing. Activities ranged from crafting educational toys, filling jars with beans, creating hampers or making sandwiches among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar events took place in Hermanus and Johannesburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_4e6179e8\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/8888\/3281eb3937594a828e9a63057bb6f767.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1006224b8e1b46a5821b334d99973c3f.jpg\" title=\"Volunteers hard at work making thousands of sandwiches.PHOTO: KAYLYNNE BANTOM\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Volunteers hard at work making thousands of sandwiches.PHOTO: KAYLYNNE BANTOM<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ladles of Love managed to achieve the record for SDG 4: Quality Education, but it also applies to SDG 2: Zero Hunger as volunteers were required to make items that assisted in the education of children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The record was set by 6 003 volunteers nationwide and was officiated by the Director of Ubuntu World Records Theresa Parsraman at the Cape Town event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yolanda Jones, Ladles of Love Programme Director, says: \u201cYou cannot educate a child on an empty stomach, as a result, our early childhood development programme focuses on providing nutritious food as well as support to the centre to train teachers and provide educational materials.

We couldn\u2019t even afford to buy sugar for the kids. There were days when kids would eat porridge without sugar. When Ladles of Love stepped in that was a blessing to us.
