Imtiaz Sooliman – The soup kitchens are getting bigger and demand keeps growing Gift of the Givers

John, the draft has been from 2015

right? Our daily intervention started last year in 2019

when the first calls for support came, the draft was there, but the

first calls for support came in 2019 last year, when we started

drilling Makanda, grand style, you know, we put in 15 bones there.

And from there, it started escalating. From bones. People

wanted food parcels. They wanted feeding their centers. They wanted

supplies for soup kitchens. People wanted fodder for the animals.

Farmers, farm workers wanted food parcels, and farmers wanted two

parcels of them and their families. And when they reached

that stage, we realized that this is critical, right? But it was

still and 2020

when we got involved with covid 19, I didn't know. And we got to

Eastern Cape, the real hosing around end of June, beginning of

July, when we delivered to a place called petty, right there. Now

again, that place when they went to petty, when my teens came up

during the moment we walked in, the lady told us, look, we've

received 1010, four parcels, there's 1000s of families here.

That's all they received from the beginning of lockdown, right? And

then when we came out the food parcels, she and she said, Look,

thank you very much for this food parcel. But let me tell you

something. My children and people of this area have been surviving

on plants. They can tell you the taste of every plant in the area,

right? Then, when antennas went on to see this is something drastic,

and the after we could we got information. And then there's

people who can terrified people eating cats and dogs. Then they're

eating tortoises, eating lizards and eating and a frogs. Two weeks

ago, this isn't frogs, and many of the kids are catching this to eat.

And then you realize how critical the situation is in the hunger

when you go to the feeding centers that we set up or support people,

you find hundreds of children coming. You see the state the way

they look from nutritional point of view. They barefooted, their

clothes are torn, their ethical situation, but they come very

peacefully, dignified, gratefully, taking a boreal food in one way

the last few weeks, another phenomenon has come across, not

touching anymore. It's even adults coming, and the soup kitchens are

getting bigger and longer, and more and more people are coming.

And I think as economy bites and more people lose their jobs, and

you know, and the short time, they're just low and more hungry

people all the time, news experts and mad as

where things stand. What you need to know drive home with John
