Their Legacy lives on….

 

Dear Sr Joy,

When our dear aunt, Sister Bernadette Boulle, passed away in April of 2012, we, her nieces and nephews, explored various possibilities as to how best to honour her memory. Because Bernadette had worked so hard to establish soup kitchens

and feeding outlets in Khayelitsha, and because children and education had always been close to

her heart, we decided to make an annual collection and send it to the Peninsula School Feeding Association. Believing that you can’t teach a hungry child, the PSFA feeds 28,715 children at 159 primary schools in the Western Cape each year, and performs a vital role in some of the really high poverty areas.

Sixteen family members across two generations contribute to this fund each year, and as a result of our donation, thirty three children receive a cooked nutritious breakfast and lunch on every day that they attend school.

We draw inspiration from the fact that through our giving, children in need are being supported, and that our beloved Bernadette’s memory lives on in each of those children.

Love Cathy Lincoln

"Thank you to Bernadette’s family for your loving and generous support of the many hungry children you feed. God bless you all."
