With October being World Hunger Month, Add Hope embarked on a few activities to
drive awareness of food security issues in South Africa and showed customers how
their Add Hope donation of R2 changes lives. On Thursday 13 October, the initiative
hosted media and Directors of the various beneficiary organisations that Add Hope
supports, at an unveiling of a wall mural on Vilakazi Street, in Soweto. The wall
mural clearly demonstrates the impact of the initiative, that is Add Hope feeds over
110 000 children across the country every day.
The wall mural has been constructed to include a wire tree which carries seeds of
hope (tomato seeds), that the community can pick and take home to plant in their own
gardens. Visitors can also interact with the wall by taking pictures and sharing on
social media, to spread the message of hope. The tree will remain on Vilakazi Street
for the weekend until Sunday, 16 October.
Artists, Vusi Khumalo and Sthembiso Dlamini both born and bred in Soweto, painted
the interactive wall with the guidance of James Delaney to highlight the plight of
hunger in South Africa. They started working on the wall a few weeks ago, with a
little help from the Boys & Girls Club South Africa, in Pimville – Soweto, one of
the Add Hope beneficiaries.
