The people were very glad to see the team with the food. The response of one person "may the Lord bless you guys, that you will receive more, blessed are the hands that give."

Dinner speech 2020 "Rights of the vulnerable matters"

 The video is about the rights of the vulnerable that matters. Most of the people who attended the dinner were running a feeding NPO. The dinner was used to create an opportunity to network with the different NPO's to find out what they are doing. The result was positive. There were two NPO's that will work together with other NPO's in the community.

Feeding refugees.

 Khanya is doing what he does best, feeding a refugee. The man said: "Thank you guys, the Lord sent you here as I am hungry and looking for a place to sleep. I am a refugee and sleeping on the street."

The other group were also very glad to receive food and their responses were: "May the Lord bless you and your family.", " Thank you for what you do for us.", " Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing.", "Where do you get the food to give to us?", " May the Lord bless your sponsor."

Academic Librarians get involved in their communities during COVID-19 pandemic

Published in LIASA-in-touch (2020)

 

Dinner create a network opportunity




The dinner was an immense success. The people who attended the event said they enjoyed it and want to attend again next time. The food was delicious and everybody could have enough. It was an opportunity to network with other organizations in the community. There were three organizations in the same area but each one is doing a different project e.g. the one focuses on neglected children, the other one on street dwellers and waste pickers, the other one on homeless people.

Rights of the vulnerable matters

 TThe dinner was a huge success. Thanks to all the people that contributed to the event and supported the organization. That is with your contributions big or small that we could be able to bring change in the lives of many vulnerable people around us. The lives of every person on this earth matters. Yes, the rights of the vulnerable matter. They deserved to be treated with respect. 

The testimony of the below person was motivational. She told the people at the dinner; she met the guy who handed out soup and bread on the street. She said she was hungry and landed on the street and was crying when the man approached her. She told the man that she does not know street life, but circumstances forced her to stay on the street. The guy motivated her and thereafter she met a lady who took her in. The lady assisted her to get her job back. She is a qualified professional nurse.

She thanks Gerald Louw for listening to her and for the soup and bread he gives her while she was staying on the street. Little did Gerald know the person he motivated on the street was a qualified professional nurse but he still treated her with respect.

Dirty container or empty stomach.

 Thank you, Tammy, for the donation of these containers. I am super excited because it breaks my heart if the people must look for containers. They will take any container on the street to collect their food. The problem I have is, I want to restore their dignity, but they must collect their food in dirty containers. Therefore, thank you Tammy again for the containers. Please donate any containers it really helps. The struggle is really real on the streets. Sometimes the street dwellers are collecting containers from the bins because they need the food. You, as a person who gives the food to them, must decide, will you give the food in the half clean container or must they sleep with an empty stomach?

Rights of the vulnerable matters

 Preparing food for the vulnerable. Our upcoming dinner theme is "Rights of the vulnerable matters". Can the vulnerable really say my right matters? What if the one vulnerable being abused by the system and money? I am just asking. Can that vulnerable also freely say that his or her rights matter? We have to work towards a society where the rights of each vulnerable matter it does not matter who the person is. Rights of the vulnerable matters, Rights of the vulnerable matters, Rights of the vulnerable matters.

Giving hope to the vulnerable

 There are people out there who need food. They appreciate every little food they get, but there are also those who do not take it. What I realize is that although these people are staying outside, they still want to exercise their right to choose what they want to eat. The below group was very glad to see the team with the food. Some responses were "Thank you for thinking about us.". "May Lord bless you.", "Thank you, I did not eat today.", "I can take for my partner who is sick"
