Now, under the lockdown period, they have no meal plan,\u201d said Natasha van Heerden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe noticed that the police were handing out food parcels. We contacted them to offer our assistance by raising funds and securing more food parcels so that more people can be served. The initiative was posted on our individual Facebook profiles.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Heerden and Coetzee contacted their Uitenhage High School Class of \u201894 group, who started the fundraising off at R1 000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe raised just over R6 000. The owner of Savalot Stores, Hemant Nathoo, apart from sponsoring as well, also assisted with the packaging. Roselane Congregational Church sponsored cans of bully beef and baked beans, whilst Patrick and Shuling Lindoor sponsored nine parcels.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Van Heerden the money was handed to Nathoo at Savalot Stores last Thursday. The Kamesh police assisted with the delivering of the parcels with the help of Captain Granville Sepkit. To date a total of 70 food parcels have been delivered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very grateful for all the sponsors. We also are humbled and thankful to be able to lend a helping hand to the destitute in these uncertain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not registered as an NPO. This is merely a community outreach initiative in a time of an international disaster. The initiative was placed on our individual Facebook profiles,\u201d said Van Heerden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Those wishing to support his initiave are most welcome.
