Year-end fund-raising Lunch at the ZEVENWACHT VILLAGE CLUB HOUSE

Sunday, 4th December 2016 at 12h30

Our year-end lunch will be prepared by the Philippa of the Oldfield Kitchen, and members of your committee. You may remember the delicious lunch she prepared for us at the Rio Largo Estate in April this year. Petrina Pakoe, Director of Peninsula School Feeding Association will join us for the lunch, and tell us a little about the organisation and its projects.

We will not have a raffle this year, as it has not been possible for the committee to arrange for prizes to be collected for this purpose. We will, however, have a lucky draw for a few donated items. If any members have items to donate, please let us know. We suggest that you add R50, or more, to the cost of the lunch, as a donation to PSFA, and your name will go into the draw for these donations.

Peninsula School Feeding Association will be the recipient of the funds raised in this way. We recognise that this organisation delivers an essential service in providing nourishing meals to schools in the Western Cape, and would like to continue our support for the association. For those members who are not familiar with PSFA, this is a registered non-profit organisation established in 1958, which provides nutritious cooked meals to 28 237 children at 155 schools in the Western Cape. These are schools that do not receive the DoE subsidy, but who require help with feeding their children.

PSFA’s main aims are to reduce short term hunger, enhance children’s ability to learn through school feeding, and increase school attendance.

It costs PSFA R395.00 to feed one child every school day for a year, a little more than the cost of our lunch!

Do go to the website for more information: www.psfa.org.za
