Description
Today you will spend the day experiencing the African philosophy of Ubuntu or what we call B Somebody with Love. This is an authentic and purely Positive Impact tour that has been specially designed for RY by our local favorite, Bukho. She is excited to take you on a journey of what her organisation “”B Somebody with Love”” does to create an impact and change in the South African food system, addressing issues such as unemployment, hunger and climate change.
On this fun day we spend our time on Sis Alakhe’s farm helping her to plant seedlings as well as preparing her harvest for the market, this is followed by a delicious traditional South African lunch prepared by Bukho herself with the fresh produce from the farmers.
We then will travel to “Ladles of Love”for the second half of the tour, where we will volunteer our time and help with their daily activities. These range from making sandwiches for the homeless to packaging food parcels that are distributed weekly to soup kitchens and homeless shelters around Cape Town.
