Western Province Preparatory School (WPPS) who will be organising their annual #Run4PSFA 24-hour marathon later this year to raise funds for PSFA, are visiting Rosmead Central Primary School this week to experience our feeding programme in action and to get a clearer understanding of what we do. Here are a few pictures the passed two days of the two classes of three visiting Rosmead Central – the learners assisted with serving meals to the children, washing dishes and packing away tables.

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanise them.” Nelson Mandela In celebration of Mandela Day 2018 on Wednesday 18 July, the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) partnered with the following wonderful companies to pack snack boxes for one of our after-school feeding programmes: : Fine Music Radio Inc. (FMR) FMR hosted a special event in the Marble Foyer at the Artscape Theatre Centre, where their staff and listeners joined forces with the Artscape staff, musicians from the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, dancers from Cape Town City Ballet, Jazzart Dance, singers from Cape Town Opera and other people from the performing arts industry who gave up 67 minutes of their time, to pack 816 snack boxes. FMR presenter, Rodney Trudgeon interviewed our fundraising manager, Charles Grey. Sygnia Group The staff at this asset management company’s head office packed 600 snack boxes and donated R25 to PSFA for each box that was packed.
