Volunteers run a soup kitchen to feed the homeless ‘bush’ children in Hangberg, the harbour area of Hout Bay, Cape Town.  They feed the children three times a week using out of date but still good-to-eat ingredients donated by local supermarkets and they also hold a Christmas party each year.   They were worried the party would have to be cancelled this year as they had no gifts for the children. That problem was solved using some more of the bears The Teddy Trust had sent to the Rotary Club Hout Bay.

Once in the hands of the children the bears enthusiastically joined in the singing and dancing and it was a very special event especially considering how tough life is for these children every single day.
