Young volunteers from Joburg South have helped feed 200 children during a community outreach initiative at the Wits University Volunteers Centre.
The youth prepared and served nutritious meals on September 1, with vegetables donated by Alberton LewenSentrum Gemeente helping to make the initiative possible.
The outreach was organised by the Sharing Kindness Foundation, which praised the young volunteers for giving their time to support children in need.
The foundation says the initiative showed how young people can make a positive difference in their communities.

South Africans have raised more than R91,000 through two crowdfunding campaigns linked to the Delfi Greek Taverna fire in Durban.
More than R44,000 has been raised for chef Ayakha Godlwana, who risked his life to rescue 74 year old Doddy Teranes from the burning restaurant.
A separate campaign for the Teranes family has raised more than R47,000 after they lost their restaurant, home and possessions in the blaze.
The campaigns are continuing, with South Africans showing their support for both the man who stepped forward during the fire and the family now rebuilding their lives.

A request for school shoes has led to a much larger donation for a foster family in Northriding.
Beanies for Beings was approached for shoes for a 13 year old girl, but the charity learned that her foster mother was also caring for a 12 month old boy.
The foster mother works part time as an office cleaner and had opened her home to both children, despite having limited resources.
The charity then put together clothing, toys, toiletries and groceries for all three family members.
