Charity begins at home with Unilever, Team SA
On Wednesday 28 October 2009, 350 underprivileged children from the Kgosi Neighbourhood Foundation (KNF) Wings of Hope School were treated to an afternoon complete with lunch, a cupcake making lesson and a special talk on what it means to be a chef. It was given by members of the South African National Culinary Team (Team SA) as part of a charity drive initiated by Unilever Foodsolutions.
Unilever has partnered with Team SA to see them through as the official Springbok squad for South Africa, to compete in the Culinary Olympics, showcasing the finest South African fare to the world in 2012.
“We and the chefs from Team SA - among them Olympic gold medal winners - were delighted to be able to use this opportunity to highlight the plight of hungry children by providing them with a balanced meal and a goodie bag of products to take home to their families,” says Craig Elliott, executive head chef at Unilever Foodsolutions.
“Many of our national team chefs work in five-star hotels and top restaurants, serving gourmet food to upmarket clientele every day. We took great pleasure in the opportunity to align ourselves with Unilever on this project and step out of the kitchen and do our part for the greater community by making however small a difference in the lives of people for whom basic food is often a luxury,” says Trevor Boyd, Team SA manager.
This initiative is set to become an annual joint venture, benefiting many hundreds of children around the country. To be kept up to date on the Team SA training schedule and appearances around South Africa, or to join the Team SA Supporters Club, please visit www.saca.co.za.
