WHY I RECOMMEND E’PAP TO VARSITY STUDENTS

Dear Dr Basil Kransdorff 

The life of a Varsity student can be extremely stressful and demanding, from adapting to a new environment to keeping up with hectic work load of assignments and studying for an upcoming test or exam. This leads to students trying various kinds of ways to keep up with this new demanding lifestyle they have just entered into, from waking up early in the morning from a night of staying up late studying for a test and having to rush off to an early lecture.

So what could help students cope with all this? Well most students turn to energy drinks to increase their energy levels and to remain active during lectures. Some students even use expensive supplements to help them receive those needed nutrients which they need to expand their concentration during important lectures. These become heavily expensive to purchase to both the parents and students which leads to a number of things being cut out of monthly budgets in order to afford the essentials that an average student need to live a stress free varsity lifestyle. Some students even come across the problem of not having enough money to purchase enough food which would last for Semester or month which leads to them going back to their own accommodation/varsity Res without anything to eat or cook and that also contributes to fatigue and lack of concentration between lectures because of an empty stomach.

I believe that a healthy student achieves the best out of him/her selves as they work better and efficiently to achieve their goals through a healthy stress free lifestyle. 

How can a student achieve all this? Well I recommend a simple bowl of instant e’Pap a day. Why I recommend e’Pap? Simple, Because as a former varsity student I too went through all sorts of challenges that a student studying towards their career. e’Pap helped through these challenges as I had a hard time adapting to this new kind of lifestyle and at times couldn’t cope with the workload given to me by lectures and having to concentrate during lectures as I didn’t have the energy to concentrate after a night of studying or being busy with a stressful assignment. 

My mother soon started purchasing vitamin supplements which helped me when I had to study for upcoming exams but these soon ended being an extra expense. I soon started trying out e’Pap and had a bowl of it in the morning before going to school, I didn’t actually enjoy having instant porridge as a young boy as compared to having a bowl of Corn Flakes or Coco pops, I started realising that the vanilla flavoured e’Pap tasted so good and become an instant fan of in the morning before having to rush off for my morning early lectures. I then read the packaging and noticed that an adult had to take 4 table spoons which is equivalent to 50 grams per day, with this I soon saw results from this dosage as I went to all my morning lectures and still felt full by my midday break. This then meant that I didn’t have to buy lunch and used that time to go to the library and catch up on notes I missed in the previous lectures. 

I soon noticed that my concentration span grew and I didn’t find it hard to concentrate during lectures or when studying, I found that e’Pap increases your energy and concentration as it helps to addresses the body’s nutritional requirements such as iron. It also helps with fatigue which played a major role when I had to attend lectures in the morning and when coming home from a late lecture where you’re just exhausted and feel like sleeping or taking a nap. 

With taking e’Pap on a regular basis I also then refrained from drinking energy drinks which we all know have negative consequences which are created by refined sugar and caffeine. 

I believe e’Pap made my time in varsity a whole easier as it helped defeat a whole lot of challenges I experienced as a student studying towards my qualification and truly believe it would help a lot other students the same way it helped me. 

As young adults we all love following trends and need to start making wise decisions for ourselves whether popular or not and e’Pap proves that a healthy student achieves excellent results for their future careers and lives as young future adults and parents to the next generation which will be taught the same....IT ALL STARTS WITH JUST A BOWL OF “e’Pap.

Rotary Awards Highest Honour, Paul Harris Fellowship, to Dr Basil Kransdorff and the e'Pap Team

Dr Kransdorff with Jo Maxwell

On Tuesday, 12th May, the Rotary Club Claremont:  CapeTown awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship, the highest accolade from the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International,  to social entrepreneur - Dr Basil Kransdorff.

A humorous moment was had by all as it was a surprise presentation organized by long term e'Pap supporter Jo Maxwell.  In on the act was our Cape Town distributor, Harold Peters.  Not a whisper from anyone.

Jo Maxwell, a Rotarian from Claremont Rotary Club was one of the first people to understand and recognize the e'Pap contribution to addressing malnutrition (hidden hunger) in relation to early childhood development.  She introduced e'Pap to Cape Town creches 14 years ago.  She continues to ensure that children receive it.  For her efforts in the community, Jo received a Paul Harris Fellowship award in 2008. In 2014 Shelley Godsell  was also awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship for their work in setting up the e'Pap Feeding Project in the Eastern Cape www.epapfeeding.co.za. Shelley and Peter Godsell created the e'Pap feeding program that now feeds e'Pap to 5,000 children in 95 schools across the Garden Route in South Africa.  The exciting part of this project is the 100 volunteers in the area ensure that the children receive their e'Pap which forges great relationships across communities. This project is in its 13th year. 

A surprised Basil received the award on behalf of the whole e'Pap team across Africa and now across the World.  e'Pap Contributors have managed to distribute over 200 million food portions on our 15 year journey and commitment to be part of making Africa - nutrient replete.

XENOPHOBIA EMERGENCY SOUTH AFRICA - THE E'PAP RESPONSE - STOP TALKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING, JUST DO IT

The e'Pap Support to Victims of Xenophobia Program

e’Pap South Africa was approached by a number of faith based organizations and NGO's working in communities in Johannesburg and Durban to help victims of xenophobia. Many of these refugees are being supported in shelters where the NGO's are requesting the public to organize non-perishable food to be delivered to distribution points in both cities to support those affected by the outrageous xenophobic outbreaks.

As a company committed to providing assistance to all communities in need, e'Pap galvanised its significant local and international networks to mobilise support to the victims and with responses coming in from within South Africa, as well as Australia and Europe, over 40 000 meal portions have been delivered to distribution points within just a few days. 

To grow the support we are requesting NGO's, corporations and individuals to purchase e'Pap for these displaced families.  The e’Pap Johannesburg office will consolidate purchases and organize deliveries to organizations working with the refugees where it is most needed. The community based organizations working on the ground will ensure it gets to these desperate families.  Logistic companies have also been approached to assist in this emergency program with delivery "free of charge".

e'Pap Power to Old Georgians Rugby and Game Rangers of Ndumo

In the last couple of weeks we are once again seeing the far reaching impact of e'Pap - from the world of Rugby to the people who protect our wildlife.

The difference between these two worlds is vast, but at the same time there is also an overwhelming commonality between the two.   Both are physically, psychologically and emotionally demanding requiring peak fitness, concentration and commitment to ensure their work is carried out to maximum effect.

The first letter to arrive came from Old Georgians RFC and the next great letter came in from the Ndumo Community Project. 

 

e'Pap Zimbabwe wishes the Old Georgians a fantastic season!

e'Pap sends a huge thanks to all at Ndumo for making sure future generation can enjoy          our African heritage.                                                         

e'Pap is Growing in the Corporate Sector

Today was great... 

The team was given the opportunity to meet with and have a lunchtime chat about the awesome nutrition in e'Pap with some 1 000 workers at a local Bulawayo factory.  The best thing is when you see the "lights go on", when people really "get" what e'Pap is all about.  More corporates are understanding that a work force on e'Pap is a turbo boost to the business and with the health benefits come improved productivity and decreased absenteeism.  

 

Zambia Civil Society Organizations Scaling up Nutrition (CSO SUN) Alliance

Dr Basil Kransdorff has just returned from Zambia.  e'Pap was invited to a Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Conference, to make presentations and to share the e'Pap journey. It was a great opportunity to engage with mainstream nutritional interventions including senior management in the World Food program (WFP) and many other International organizations. There was great interest in our work that could create opportunities for us to take e'Pap and nutrient repleteness to its next level.

An article from the Zambia Post

Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition Alliance (CSO-SUN) works towards a Zambia where every mother and child is assured of sufficient nutrition.

The e'Pap stand was popular with all and the Zambian e'Pap team served smoothies, 

a firm favourite for the delegates.

e’Pap is ISO 22000 accredited

“The consequences of unsafe food can be serious and ISO’s food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards. As many of today's food products repeatedly cross national boundaries, International Standards are needed to ensure the safety of the global food supply chain.”

"Promoting Public Participation &Joint Partnerships for Economic Development"  

the NGO EXPO 2014 will take place on the 3-6 September 2014 at Harare Gardens.

NANGO through the NGO Expo will seek the opportunity of building relationships with Government and the Private Sector. This will be realised through the exhibition and conferences based on the theme "Promoting Public Participation and Joint Partnerships for Economic Development". In its broadest sense, economic development can be defined as the sustained, concerted actions of policy makers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a country. In that regard, it therefore follows that the progressive realisation of economic development lies not in the efforts of government alone as the custodian of the economy but that it is a consorted effort of all stakeholders involved in the development discourse.

e'Pap Zimbabwe working together with Miracle Missions are getting the word out about the critical importance of building a nutrient economy, one where nobody need suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
