That ABSA Bank

Mmapula, Rejoice, Jane, and Gift with some of the "kids" who go to Pick 'n Pay once a month to buy their groceries through an ABSA sponsorship. Jane is the Customer Service Manager and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Any time the store has food that it must donate or find a home for, she said she thinks of Kodumela. That's what I call networking, folks.
I am SO excited to announce that a proposal Rejoice worked on and sent in to ABSA Bank (here in South Africa) a few months ago has been accepted!!!!! The drop in center program has received a whopping R480,000 for the next year! You know what this means? This means more balanced meals at the centers! This means TWO meals can be served a day instead of just one! This means there are no worries about the centers running out of food any time in the next year! This means all those kids are going to get to eat! This means Rejoice rocks!
