GMA Coronavirus Support: R20,000 to feed children in Muldersdrift

BACKGROUND: Falcon Newman and Eduard Ellis are brothers in arms. Their mission: to feed children in the Video squatter camp in Muldersdrift. Both men live in the nearby Rietfontein informal settlement. Eduard works with Dithupe’s Foundation and Rise Against Hunger, to supply nutritious meals to 900 children from 22 Early Childhood Development Centres in the area. Falcon is a missionary, who usually cooks for the children every Friday. Since lockdown, the need has increased and people are turning to them for food every day. Eduard has applied for overseas funding, which by all indications will only be released in another two months. The need is, however, now and the number of children and mothers needing food grows every day. That’s why Eduard wrote to Good Morning Angels for assistance. 

REQUEST FOR: Eduard Ellis and Falcon Newman 

ANGEL:  The Good Morning Angels Fund NPC 

SPONSORING: The GMA Fund will send R20,000 in AngelRands to Eduard and Falcon to help them to feed the children from the Video informal settlement in Muldersdrift.  

#AngelRands is Jacaranda FM Good Morning Angel’s own electronic voucher, managed and distributed on our behalf by eVoucher.mobi (powered by Celbux).
