Result is that with love people can change. If people feel appreciated and loved they can change their behavior e.g. below picture shows a person who used to live on the street but with love change his life style. The other person use to use drugs and stay away from home but with love and support he changed is life and go back to school. The person used to stay on the street get employment and go look for his child to be a father for his child. That is what Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation stands for. The vision is "Restore lives and gives hope to the hopeless individuals."

Exploring the Potential Health Risks Faced by Waste Pickers on Landfills in South Africa: A Socio-Ecological Perspective

https://uwc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/27UWC_INST/iu6ogf/doaj_soai_doaj_org_article_ecaf6876e300471e9cb44522732f3372

Landfill and street waste pickers in South Africa are responsible for collecting substantial volumes of recyclable material, saving municipalities millions and contributing to a generally healthier and cleaner environment. Yet waste pickers continue to operate on the fringes of the economy and are exposed to many risks, particularly health risks which have a direct impact on the sustainability of their livelihoods. This article, using a mixed-methods approach, explores the health risks to which waste pickers working on nine different landfills in the country are exposed. Thesocio-ecological framework was used to analyse and present the results. A key finding was that waste picking, by its very nature, lends itself to innumerable health risks, but that these can be lessened through concerted and collaborative efforts on the part of landfill operators, local authorities and other stakeholders. Integrating the 'self-employed' waste pickers into the formal waste management system should be comprehensive in order to limit health risks. Waste pickers will never have a risk-free environment, but facilitative policies and supportive institutions can collaboratively help to mitigate these risks and create a more sustainable and dignified working environment towards sustaining their livelihoods.

Report on Sunday 1, December 2019

The turn up from homeless individuals collecting the food was good. The people were very pleased to receive the food. The responses were:
"keep on doing what you are doing,"
"thank you for the food as my aunt is sick and needs to take medication. The food comes at the right time. After eating she can take her medication."
"Please look over there, there is a sick lady sitting. Can I please take a plate for her as she can not walk?"
"thank you for what you are doing."

People are showing respect and appreciation for the food.
