Help Youth Potential South Africa - YOUPSA by donating healthy snacks or vouchers to a shop for disadvantaged rural children to receive nutrition boost
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Most children living in rural disadvantaged communities eat only one meal per day - the meal served at school. This meal is in the morning, and children are hungry the rest of the day. Young people struggle to learn on an empty stomach. Consequently, it is very important to us to be able to provide a nutritional boost in the form of a healthy snack and drink during our afternoon sessions with the children. All the children in our programmes are greatly undernourished. They look forward to this healthy boost in the afterschool programme. Children in our programmes learn how to read ingredients on labels and distinguish between what is healthy and what is not. Your support will bring children the power to think and learn better because of the nutrition that you help us provide to them. Please consider donating healthy food / drink or vouchers to a shop where this can be purchased for these precious young people. Thank You.

- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
