The Porridge Club

The Porridge Club holds a special affection for us. 5 days per week the ‘club’ offers a bowl of porridge for mums and their children. The majority of the mums are single, HIV positive and extremely poor. The ‘club’ offers the ladies the chance to learn some basic reading and writing and for the children to socialise. We look to get the children into Day Care so the mums have the opportunity to find work. The club has about 30 attendees this year and as with other years we were able to give all the mums and their children a bag of clothes. At the end of the trip we had enough clothes left to stock up Sister’s cupboard so she can continue to distribute new clothes throughout the year.
