“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanise them.” Nelson Mandela In celebration of Mandela Day 2018 on Wednesday 18 July, the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) partnered with the following wonderful companies to pack snack boxes for one of our after-school feeding programmes: : Fine Music Radio Inc.
