From 09:00 to 13:00, the Market Hall buzzed with energy as 24 teams, each with 432 volunteers per session, worked in synchronised production lines, packing a staggering 240 624 meals. These meals will feed over 1 046 children for a full year through various school feeding schemes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GrandWest covered the R64 750 cost to allow learners and educators to participate and waived venue hire fees. Corporate team entry fees helped fund the dry ingredients and basic packaging.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-5-million-meals\">2,5 million meals\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This food-packing drive is part of RAH&#8217;s national Mandela Month campaign, which aims to pack 2,5 million meals in July to support 225 Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres across South Africa for a full year. The meal packs contain rice, soya, soup mix and a sachet with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, designed to meet children&#8217;s daily nutritional needs. Volunteers were treated to creative dishes made by GrandWest Executive Chef Keshan Rambarun using these very ingredients.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GrandWest General Manager Mervyn Naidoo expressed his gratitude to all who participated:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every person who volunteers their two hands for just 67 minutes, once a year, helps us pack well over a quarter of a million meals. Thank you to all the schools, small businesses, big corporates and staff for making a difference every year.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naidoo explained that GrandWest has hosted this initiative annually with RAH since its inception \u2014 even attended by Gra\u00e7a Machel at the inaugural event. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rise-against-hunger\">Rise Against Hunger\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to RAH Regional Manager Dayne Myles, Mandela Month alone accounts for 40% of the meals they pack annually, with 2,7 million meals packed in July 2024, feeding over 11 000 children for a year. Their ECD Connect programme channels savings on food into upgrades like first aid kits, sanitation facilities, and roof repairs \u2014 particularly benefitting female-led micro-enterprises running creches.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RAH identifies high-need areas, such as Stellenbosch, and partners with teacher-training organisations to ensure long-term development. &#8220;The meals provide more than nutrition,&#8221; says Myles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-attachment-id=\"271707\"
