Shelley and Peter Godsall have been supplying e'Pap to 4,750
poor malnourished children, through the Kysna e'Pap Feeding Scheme, for 10 years
now. The children are now starting to
prepare to enter the real world of employment and University. e'Pap has made an amazing impact on their
lives and one can see the huge positive changes in the children. These pupils
report that their successes are directly linked to the e'Pap.
Peter recently visited the Knysna Sekondére Skool and
witnessed the e’Pap distribution, which takes place on a daily basis. He
chatted to a couple of children and got their impressions of the porridge and
why it was so important to them, please
remember that they are not speaking in their home language.
They are so grateful for the gift of e’Pap and were at pains
to make sure that Peter understood how important it is to them. A fantastic
volunteer, Marlise Basson, who has literally taken them under her wing and
loves them to bits, encourages them and makes them feel worthwhile.
The “cooks” also form
part of the amazing e’Pap team. One is extremely poor and totally illiterate
and the other little has had a stroke but can read and write, so they work
together, the one mixing the porridge and the other one doing the writing down
of quantities used. They are at the school every day without fail and this
programme has changed their lives by making them feel valued and worthwhile.
The boys who are about double the size of the e'Pap team
just love them to bits and are so grateful for their gift of service.
This is just one of the Knysna outlets which has literally
changed the lives of all concerned including the volunteer.
