Opening of Fielas Kitchen in Sir Lowry’s Pass Village

Fiela with Philip Michalitis and Rita Olsen (Force4Good) and Gordons Bay Lion Club members Annette van Heerden and Paula Lang.

A dream came true last week when the official opening of Fielas kitchen took place in the heart of Sir Lowry’s Pass Village.

For many years Fiela has been cooking many meals for needy children in her neighbourhood using her own kitchen to prepare the meals.

The financial support of 3 very special people – Peter and Susan from the UK and Maria Kissler from Germany – enabled Force4Good, a local Helderberg charity, to set up and finish a large Wendy House kitchen on the backyard of Fielas house. The finishing of the Wendy house was organized by the Gordon’s Bay Lions Club.

Fiela is now able to prepare meals for up to 150 to 200 children, apart from supplying the children with food she also keeps the children busy with games, dance and singing and looks after them when they arrive at her kitchen from their respective homes.

Handing out a hearty meal to the children.
