SEVA Hands, a non-profit organisati­on based in Reservoir Hills and Clare Estate, this week partnered with Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) as part of TNPA’S corporate social investment initiative­s, to commemorat­e Mandela Day 2022 with a career exhibition at Hillview Primary School in Reservoir Hills. Pupils also received treats and lunch.

The school is one of the beneficiar­y schools of the Seva Hands sandwich drive.

The drive feeds close to 500 children from impoverish­ed background­s every week. Since starting three years ago, the organisati­on has prepared and distribute­d 30 000 school lunches.

The organisati­on, which relies on sponsors and donations, is run by Yajnaa Haridas, Aneshnee Yegambram and Veneshree Naidu.

Seva Hands has also been involved

in hamper distributi­ons.

“Also close to our heart is the distributi­on of sanitary pads to young girls.

No girl should miss a day of school because of not having sanitary pads,” said Yegambram.
