With Christmas just around the corner, the neighbourhood children of Alletta's Soup Kitchen in Fisantekraal came together for a magical Christmas. As always, Alletta's warmth and generosity created a joyful and unforgettable event.

The day’s highlights included a vibrant dance routine and a touching nativity play. After weeks of practice, the kids dazzled with their enthusiasm and beautiful costumes, bringing smiles and pride to everyone watching.

Thanks to the generosity of Febe, who provided sweets and juice, and donations from the Kellys, Jolanda Venter, Mariza Walters, and Annalize, we were able to provide the kids with hot dogs and lucky packets. Annalize also added an extra touch of sweetness with a delicious cake!

Before the festivities began, Alletta opened with heartfelt thanks and a moving prayer that set the tone for a day filled with love and community spirit. This event was yet another shining example of Alletta’s unwavering dedication to her community (in case you missed it, we owe the success of our recent Mandela Day Food Drive to her, amongst others!). From the laughter of the children to the smiles of the parents, it was a beautiful celebration of togetherness and hope.

To Alletta, her family, the volunteers, and all the sponsors who made this day possible — thank you for creating such a special and memorable day for Fisantekraal!
