This comes after they read in the Herald how he assists children from disadvantaged families with food and stationery. “Another miracle happened when Tegan and Ryan Thomson from Kampersrus offered to donate 100 chickens and teach TryGive’s team how to take care of them.

“The chickens arrived this weekend and as of Monday, TryGive’s team will be able to start providing fresh eggs to the community. “I am in tears. I would like to thank everyone who was involved in investing in the children’s future,” said Hoedspruit resident, David Bryne. On Saturday, April 2, TryGive was able to prepare some of the eggs fresh from their chicken ‘farm’ for the children.

He was also able to give his team some eggs to take home. “I am grateful to the people of Hoedspruit for helping me with the chicken coop. I am now able to feed more children than before. This is a great investment in the community of Acornhoek, as it will provide them with fresh eggs for many years to come.

The fact that my team was trained to farm eggs and grow chickens, will enable us to teach those children the knowledge we have gained,” said TryGive. David also said that TryGive is an amazing man who helps feed over 100 children a day and works with almost 400 families who own food gardens, growing their own vegetables and mealies.

“At the time I asked him what else he needed and he replied – chickens! “The residents of Hoedies stepped up and we raised enough money to build a chicken coop and a fenced-in area,” Bryne said.
