The 1st Dimani Scout Troop in Limpopo embarked on a food for life project to help alleviate hunger in their community. Troop leader Mungadi Thovhodzo Deon spearheaded the project. A gardening workshop was held that taught Scouts and young members of the Dimani community how to develop and maintain a food garden. It was followed by a healthy eating workshop for children and parents. More than 60 families benefited from this workshop as they now know what healthy food is, what it does to their bodies and how to grow it. The project was seen as a truly building food security for the community of Dimani, especially for the vulnerable children. As it gives young children a role to play in fighting hunger and also equips them with knowledge and skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Being able to eat vegetables they themselves have planted has instilled a sense of pride within some of the participants. This is what one of the participants, Unarine had to say, “I always eat carrot salad during Christmas time and now I am the one who is planting carrots.’’ And another participant Siala said, “Being part of this project, actually being a Scout has helped me a lot. I did not know how vegetables are planted and how they grow, but today I have the great knowledge that a person needs to produce fresh and healthy vegetables,” Deon says, “We need to start a project in which we can give a free weekly meal to the community elders and supply vegetables to local crèches and special schools.” Deon’s future plans are to run a ‘Learning to earn workshop’ for Scouting and community members.
