Op \u2019n koue middag in die hart van die pandemie het hulle met een pot sop 12 mense gevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En in die jaar wat volg het di\u00e9 syfer nou tot amper 200 gestyg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met \u2019n hart vir die gemeenskap en as \u2019n antwoord vir \u2019n gemeenskap wat honger ly, is die nie-winsgewende organisasie Isiah Community Development gestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die stigter, Rachel Abrahams, s\u00ea hoewel mense dink Westridge-inwoners kan in hul eie behoeftes voorsien, is daar baie armoede reg oor Mitchells Plain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het met selfbefondsing begin met \u2019n paar skenkings van die kerkgemeenskap, maar tot dusver vanjaar het ons nie enige skenkings gekry nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy. \u201cOns sal graag elke week kos wou uitdeel, maar vir nou kan ons net doen wat ons kan met die skenkings wat ons kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met \u2019n bydrae van die kerk voer hulle tot en met 200 inwoners elke tweede Donderdag by die perseel van Mitchells Plain United Church in Park-rylaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn 2021 het ons vrouevereniging besluit ons wil iets vir die gemeenskap doen. Ons het toe begin met een klein pot en 12 mense by die kerk gevoed. Daarna het ons \u2019n groter pot en later n\u00f3g \u2019n groter een gekoop,\u201d s\u00ea Abrahams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense is gou om te s\u00ea by ons is nie honger mense nie, maar jy kan sien in die ry dat daar baie arm en honger mense is. Daar is mense om ons wat in die bos bly. Elke week is dit \u2019n nuwe ervaring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groep vroue kook nou by die kerk en voer die bre\u00eb gemeenskap tuisgemaakte maaltye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was baie tye dat ons niks gekry het nie. Dit was traumaties, want ek weet daar is mense wat dit nodig het. Ek het toe op my knie\u00eb gegaan en God gevra vir hulp, en so het ons hulp gekry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy herhaal hoe hulle reg oor die provinsie moes ry vir skenkings, maar het dit gedoen vir die gemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie nood is groot, en ons sal graag meer gereeld kos skenk vir ons gemeenskap. Daar is mense wat in die ry hul kos opeet en dan weer kom skep vir kinders of vir later. Ek kan nie nee s\u00ea nie, want mense is honger en hoe s\u00ea daardie ma vir haar kinders sy het nie kos vir hulle nie? Ons skep dit vol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie benodig groente en stapelvoedsel soos rys en pasta. Hulle aanvaar ook geldelike skenkings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
