The initiative forms part of RAH\u2019s ongoing campaign to pack and distribute meal boxes to those in need. Each meal is planned to deliver optimal nutrition to children. The bags are packed with highly nutritious dehydrated meals consisting of rice, soya, soup mix and a vitamin sachet containing 23 essential vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_62bb1f87\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/5030\/619364a339f441c19ce5dd3e34ad32fd.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/9e6d77fd5ce647f998e9bb5cd62c44bc.jpg\" title=\"Volunteers packing meals.PHOTO: Barry Voster\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Volunteers packing meals.PHOTO: Barry Voster<\/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>GrandWest\u2019s General Manager, Mervyn Naidoo, said: \u201cI am proud to stand in a production line alongside our staff to pack food every year because I know that every sealed food pack has a child\u2019s face on it. To that child, each pack is a precious gift of life. We are here to honour Madiba\u2019s life, but we are also here to make a tangible difference for so many young South Africans who are dependent on just one meal a day to stay alive. When our shifts are over our 270 staff volunteers will know that we have helped over 1 086 vulnerable children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-waveren-primary-school\">De Waveren Primary School<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to De Waveren Primary School\u2019s principal, Eduard Hattingh, the school has a good relationship with GrandWest. \u201cWhen they came to us regarding this event, we jumped at the opportunity to give our learners a chance to give back to the community,\u201d says Hattingh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt De Waveren we have four core values: Respect, Integrity, Caring and Honesty \u2013 RICH.
