Moyo, supported by a classmate and teachers, harvested spring onions, spinach and lettuce to donate to Delta Park School’s soup kitchen, which provides daily meals for learners. The first harvest marks an important milestone in a project rooted in compassion, teamwork and a commitment to making a positive impact.
He explained that seeing the first harvest filled him with deep pride, gratitude and emotion. He said starting the initiative was aimed at creating something that would make a meaningful difference, but seeing that vision come to life after seven weeks of hard work made it even more special. “It reminds me that meaningful change does not happen overnight. It requires commitment, patience and the willingness to keep showing up, even when the results are not immediately visible. To see the green onions, spinach and lettuce ready for harvest is proof that the effort was worth it. For me, this is more than growing vegetables; it is seeing an idea become something tangible that can serve others.”
He said he wanted the garden to be sustainable, create opportunities for learners to learn responsibility and teamwork, and contribute towards addressing food insecurity. “Donating our first harvest to Delta Park School’s soup kitchen brings all those goals together in a very meaningful way. I hope the vegetables will provide more than just fresh produce for a meal.

I hope they will contribute towards easing the burden on learners who need support, and remind them that there are people who care about their wellbeing.” The achievement is a reminder that even a small initiative can grow into something significant when supported by dedication and collaboration.
Anika de Klerk, of Delta Park School, thanked the learners for their hard work and said the donated food would play a big role in their soup kitchen. “This will make a big difference. We will use it to cook for lunches, and we will also send some to the families on food parcels. It is a wonderful initiative.”
