Zwelisha Food Drop

A few quick photos from today's food drop to Zwelisha. This was done in collaboration with Sinani, an organisation working mainly with orphaned kids in the Kabokweni area near Nelspruit.

We loaded 400kg of maize, 180 kg of tomatoes, and 64 of avocados before driving to Indigo Farm to collect 200 bags of oranges and meet the other half of the team from Sinani.

We then drove together to Zwelisha to deliver the food to the primary school.

Many hands make light work

Masoyi Food Drop II

After first visiting three weeks ago (9 May 20), Paul did a follow up food drop to a community about 40km away. A donor had bought 560kg of maize and asked Mercy Air to collect and then deliver it to the Masoyi Home Based Care centre near Numbi.
The ladies again very grateful...
..and eager to help with the unloading.

Thank you
