Sally's Village - Tin food rally
Sally's Village are a very poor area which falls under Brakpan (Eastrand)
It consists of mainly old mine houses, a lot of these houses, are in bad shape,
The families living there are not on our lists at the moment but need any help they can get. In 2011 on numerous occasions we were able to assist all the needy families in Sally's Ville with frozen pies, vegetables, bread, clothing and other odds and ins, but soon to find out that this is just not enough to last them or safe them from more than one week of not going to bed hungry.
Thus one of our special projects for 2012 is SALLY'S VILLAGE.
We will be collecting any canned food or other non perishable items, so that it can be stretched out for a period of time, as well that although fresh/frozen vegetables and meat will be very much appreciated and certainly will be collected for the families of this community, we are faced with a huge problem that more than half of these families do not have any fridge or freezers and need to borrow a space in a friends or neighbours fridge, which creates even a bigger problem due to the nature of any hungry person, no need to say, fights and accusation of stealing food goes around
Our aim with this tin food rally for Sally's Ville is to collect at least 2000 units of canned food.
Photo's, progress and any other updates will be done on this page during the duration and end product of this project
