My Chef supports Operation Bobbi Bear for Mandela Day
In light of Mandela Day this weekend, My Chef will be giving back by devoting 67 minutes of their time to serving soup at a My Chef soup kitchen which will be set up at Operation Bobbi Bear on Friday, 17 July.
Operation Bobbi Bear is a human rights organisation committed and dedicated to working with and assisting sexually abused children in Amanzimtoti.
A 'Bobbi Bear' toy is a non-threatening means for child victims of sexual abuse to communicate the nature of the abuse, crossing all language barriers and preventing secondary abuse at the point of rescue. It provides the criminal justice system and caregiver with a better understanding of actual events and enables the initiation of appropriate HIV and AIDS interventions.
Operation Bobbi Bear's success rate with prosecution of the perpetrators and providing safe homes for the abused children is testament to the organisation's training programmes both with individuals, the community and collaboration with the criminal justice system in South Africa.
