The ladies and gentlemen gathered in the wee hours to fine tune their crops as part of their feed-a- home project, they ensure that what is planted at community centre is given to nearby members of the community for small donations to keep the project going.
Mathsidiso Lethoko one of the longest serving members said that "It is always a struggle to get partnerships for this project, however with the grace of God we keep pushing and the crops just keep on growing to our surprise the was a time when we had a bit of drought and we had to collect water from a neighbouring village by donkey cart that was a challenge we overcame as an organization and I'm grateful for every member that pulled together"
Aganang Home Based Care does not only have gardening projects they also assist senior citizens with day to day chores like going to the clinic for medication pick ups and to do laundry for them once a week. " I am very lucky to have such a caring community since my grandchildren live far from here and only come once in a while, I appreciate the work done by this wonderful group of men and women who give up their time to ensure we are clean and healthy" said Mme Lerato Tlokotsi a pensioner in the Dinokana community.
The Project has been gaining momentum and has been a success as now they can plant different things from Spinach, Tomatoes, Potatoes and Cabbage. They are now looking to expand into starting a section for fruits and they hope with the partnership of the community centre about to unfold that it will help them get more people involved.
All we can say Aganang Home Based Care is building something one crop at a time!
