Affordability for basic schooling needs is very limited, so Vivian Reddy, chairperson of Sibaya Community Trust, reached out to the Blackburn Village community and made the school bags donation.

“It is most fulfilling to see the happiness and smiles on the faces of these children – it makes you realise that your greatest joy is derived from serving others,” he said.

The trust has also built a skills centre and kitchen in the village. The centre is used to upskill people living in the community while the kitchen was built to serve them daily meals.
