Prayers Delayed Are Not Prayers Denied.
Do not judge by the harvest that you reap but by the seed you plant.

Some days will be hard, you will face obstacles, you will struggle, many will give up on you, some days you'll doubt yourself and the process but every lesson is necessary for the development of your strength, endurance and wisdom, no tree doesn't grow with strong roots.

Even if life is not easy for us we will always continue to serve, we might not fulfill everyone's desire but we will always meet the demands of those who are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

What a way to start the new year.
We would like to extend our sincere apologies for any inconveniences caused to all our beneficiaries, donars, potential donars and clients for all the missed calls, unanswered messages, missed meetings, delayed appointments, postponed deliveries, pick Up's and donations.

Our Chairperson and Managing Director spent some time at Kalafong Hospital undertaking an operation to his left hand due to an unknown infection that the doctors can't even see or know what caused it.

However we are happy to announce that he has been discharged, recovering and we are ready to pick up where we left of and create magic again.

I would like to thank my family, close friends, team, brothers and colleagues for their visit's, efforts and unconditional support.

Our monthly Seminar "How To Start Your Own Business" is postponed to next month, Free Breakfast For Unprivileged School Children will start next week, our 4th Annual Give To One Child Initiative is still in progress and it will be extended until March 2024.

We still plead for donations of School Shoes, School Uniform, Stationery and Hygiene Products.🙏🏿🙏🏿

Most people want presents under their tree's but most people just want to have a family they can spend their Christmas with.

Another year of serving and sharing our love with multiple people and children.
Join us and tune in today on Thobela FM Yaka at 13H45 as we continue to engage and share insight on the work that our organization Ponelopelo Community Development NPC do.

We wish everyone a joyous and a Happy Merry Christmas, let's spread the spirit of giving, sharing and loving not only the people we know but also stranger's because today we are reminded that family is important but not everyone has family.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't you'll find an excuse.
When other people will be spending festive with their families and having fun, we will be working double shifts and extra hard to ensure that unprivileged Families have some food to eat and clothes to wear for this festives and unprivileged Children have school shoes, personal care and hygiene products when schools open.

We are currently raising funds by selling food at events from burgers, chicken strips, chips, wors rolls, chicken gizzards, quarter legs with pap. On Fridays and Saturdays we sell just outside Rankie(Stupung) from 21:00 PM - 04:00 AM. On Saturday the 16th of December 2023 we will be selling food at Abidoza One Man Show (Mbolekwa), and on the 17th of December 2023 we will be selling food at Mother Of All Markets(Super Stadium)

Today we have launched our Give To One Child Back To School 4th Annual Edition, which is an outreach program aimed to provide orphans, unprivileged and vulnerable children with school shoes, stationery, toiletries and hygiene products, the initiative will end on the 26th of February 2024.

On the 24th of December 2023 we will be spending our Christmas Eve at two different venue's namely Ext 6 Community Center (Corner Vergenoeg and Mohothlori Atteridgeville West) and at our adopted Safety Home, Halelatsang Safety Home.

We will be serving freshly cooked meals, distributing clothes, shoes, baby utilities and toys.

Any profit we generate is used to fulfill the daily demands we get from different people in the community, beneficiaries and to ensure that the Initiatives we run become a success since well we have no funding or sponsorship.

You can support our organization by either buying at our food stalls or by donating school shoes, school bag, toothbrush, sanitary pads, roll on/deodorant, bathing soap, body lotion, bathing cloth, non-perishable food items, old toys, and novels.

Your support will be highly appreciated on behalf of our beneficiaries.
Ponelopelo Community Development NPC

Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught, so that when they grow up they know the value of life and not the value of things.

Everyone is not fortunate enough to have all they desire in life, everyone is not fortunate enough to go to school, everyone is not fortunate enough to have a job. Some people are dependent on others to meet their basic needs.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Blue Ribbon Bread for their donation of 20 loaves of bread.
We prepared some chips and visited Siyahlala Informal settlement to share within the community.

We are swiftly preparing for our Christmas Initiative on the 24th of December 2023 with our community of Atteridgeville and adopted safety home Halelatsang.

We are asking for Old Toys, Non Perishable Food Items, Hygiene Products which will be equally distributed between two venue's.

It might be holidays for others but hunger and poverty doesn't have holidays.
Let's continue caring for one another, let's continue loving one another.

Children don't remember days, Children remember moments that's why we make every moment count.
Children won't forget what you did for them but they will remember how much you were kind to them when no one else was. This morning Breakfast Initiative was overwhelming, we are stuck between being happy for what we have done for this children this year and sad for what we couldn't do for them.

As many have finished their school assessments, today might have been the last time we saw them because others will be going to high school even though our Soup kitchen and Serving Scheme will be open this festive and school holidays because hunger and poverty doesn't have holidays.

We would like to thank the parents and guardians who trusted us with the safety and nutrition of their children. Those who have donated towards making the course successful. The smiles on this children's faces will always be worth the sleepless nights.

A "Fresh Start" is not a new place, it's a new mindset. "If you don't sacrifice for what you want what you want becomes the sacrifice."
Great things take time, the best is yet to come.🤲🏿🙏🏿

When they say it takes a village to raise a child, they mean it takes love, understanding, sacrifice, compromise and consideration.

Even if we suffer we must continue what we started, doors may close but it is not punishment but preparation for all the good things to come. We've made it our mission to walk around Identify school children without school shoes, school shoes that are torn apart, that doesn't fit anymore or those that they walk stepping on with their heels.

We've identified over 50 children that need school shoes and we've made it our firm purpose to work for their salvation of their suffering.
Our mission is still long, but our goal is inevitable.

If you want to enquire or donate please send us a message or contact us on the following:

Clothing consolidation and distribution in process.❤️🤲🏿

Prayers delayed are not Prayers Denied.
We have been struggling with school shoes for a couple of weeks, we have high demands and daily walk-ins from strangers to beneficiaries.

Today without any expectations in celebration to her 50th Birthday Celebration, one of the people who have long believed in the vision of our organization and supported it for a very long time donated 12 pairs of school shoes, thank you so much Lesego Mabena and Happy birthday. May God bless you and your family abundantly.🤲🏿❤️🙏🏿

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others and if you don't help them don't hurt them. Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from our own actions.

With a basic understanding of all humans as brothers and sisters, we can appreciate the usefulness of different systems and ideologies that can accommodate different individuals and groups with different Cultural heritages, having different dispositions and tastes

Our Recap to our last Month Feeding Scheme, Clothing Distribution and Heritage Day Celebration.
We served Cow heels, Chicken feet, with Cabbage and Samp.

Even if we don't have an facility, even if we struggle with transport to pick up the donations some people make means to reach us at our office.
We thank you so much for the support, trust and continuous donations.

Report and Acknowledgement letter of How To Start Your Own Business Entrepreneurship Seminar;

If you tell people that you got a job, you'll get 1000 likes but if you tell them you are starting a business you will get 10 likes because most people prefer security over guarantee and long - term investment.

Instead of crossing the street to support you you they rather travel 50 kilometers to support someone else.

Out or the 70 participants we were anticipating at the Entrepreneurship Seminar only 41 participants managed to make it to the venue, but it is not the quantity of people but the quality of the knowledge and information that was shared.

We would like to express our utmost and humble gratitude to everyone who took their time to attend the seminar, most importantly to our lovely Guest Speakers who honoured our invitation and fulfilled our needs beyond expectation, business institutions and entrepreneurs who showed our attendees with infinite business wisdom.

When aiming for success you need some patience in your aim hence How To Start Your Business Seminar will be an ongoing dialogue that will happen once a month until businesses are built and jobs are created.

Once more our organization thank you for your time, and contribution to this amazing initiative on behalf of the hardworking team and beneficiaries, and we hope to see you again next month.

It's either 50 Years of Struggle or 5 Years of Sacrifice, Join the conversation with Katlego Legodi on POWER 98.7 FM as we will be discussing about our upcoming Entrepreneurship Seminar How To Start Your Own Business. Wednesday 04 October 2023 at 02:30 AM

If somebody tells you about what they are going through, is it not for you to judge, prejudice or seek fame from their circumstances. But to understand in the best form so you can help from love the best way you can because today it can be someone but tomorrow it can be you.

Someone reached out that a particular young man doesn't have a suit to wear for Matric Dance but through our Community Shop under Ponelopelo Community Development NPC that offers not only clothes to the Unprivileged but borrows formal clothes for Job Interviews, Employment, Job Hunting and Matric Dance.

We managed to borrow three Suits he can choose from and the blue one stood out.
We don't post this to seek fame, or praise but for others out there who seek assistance to be able to reach us, to those who donate clothes to understand where their clothes are going and doing.

Join us this Friday 6 October 2023 at Kings and Queens former Pheli Shisanyama for our Entrepreneurship Day Seminar Called How To Start Your Own Business as we will be sharing information, knowledge and access to start your own business using your own skills, qualification, talent and ideas

Everytime when I hear the words "We will check our availability and get back to you" when we ask for assistance, I remember all the interviews I went to that said they will call me back but they never did, everytime I hear the words "how much will you pay us" from the people we ask to collaborate with, I remember all the times I took my CV to different workplaces and they said they want work experience without giving me a chance to showcase my potential and skills, everytime big companies say we like the idea but that is competition to our clients we know very soon we are going to be shown our way out and soon see our ideas on their pages.

But every NO we've got, every REJECTION we have received, every LOSS we took, it gave us the motivation to aim higher, to work harder, to think smarter.

I often say Rome wasn't build in one day but one day Rome will be build.
"You don't get to the top in one day but one day you will get to the top."

We don't fake it, We work for it and We will make it.🙏🏿🙏🏿

You cannot work for food when there is no food for work.
We can't change the world in one day but one day we will change the world.

Another nutritional addition to our breakfast menu, the aim is for children to grow up to never value things but to value life.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's hard to concentrate when there's no food in your stomach, it helps children to focus in class, the energy to participate and the confidence to express themselves.

We are not done, We are only starting.🙏🏿🙏🏿

Due to unforeseen circumstances We have changed the venue of our Heritage Day Celebration from Ext 6 Community Centre to Ext 6 Community Park.
The show goes on🙏🏿🤲🏿.

Days like today remind us that not everyone has family to enjoy with and not everyone has food to enjoy or eat, and that is why our organization exists.

Tomorrow we will be serving freshly cooked mean and distributing clothes at Atteridgeville West Ext 6 Community Centre (Corner Vergenoeg and Mohothlori Street).

Last Year we had performances of Cultural dance, Poetry, Choirs and this year we are going to do things slightly different.
To those who doesn't have any food or clothes to enjoy today, join our beneficiaries tomorrow from 12:00 AM to 15:00 AM.
Be there or be told.❤️🤍

Always strive to be the Chess Player and not the Chess Piece. Join us today on Pheli FM the Drive Thru at 09:10 AM as we unbundle and talk about people who make a difference in the community.

"Your garden isn't thriving because every time a flower blooms you cut it to prove to someone else that you're a gardener."

Not everyone will understand your journey, FOCUS because GOD didn't give them your VISION.

A little change to our Breakfast Initiative Menu, Scones with Oros, the only thing that was missing were fruits.🤲🏿🙏🏿🤍

Out of all the work we do, this one photo always seems to capture the hearts of many people across the country and the attention of big corporates. As much as we are grateful and humble for the year after year recognition, we are tired of trending without any progressive empowerment to the course.

We don't need a handout of bread, we need our own Bakery, so we can feed people while creating jobs.

We don't need a space that occupies a table on the passage of a mall or plaza, we need our own Facilities to do our own empowerment, educational and skills development programs that will uplift idle and vacant youth still seeking for resources, to further their studies or start their own businesses.

We need our own community walk in shop to maximize Job Creation.

We are not seeking for fame, we are seeking for stability, sustainability, job creation, building a vertical legacy for the country, progressive environment for all children to grow and creating our own wealth.
