We need tables and chairs to open the
UBUNTU Community Kitchen and feed the hungry!
We urgently need 300 chairs and 15 metal folding tables to open the doors and start serving the community - in the Community Kitchen and Hall. All the other basic necessities are in place for us to open the doors and functioning simply but effectively.
Service to the People - Heart of the Community
The revamped town hall will be the heart of the community because this is where the community kitchen is located, that will feed all those who participate in the many community projects on a daily basis - this will include the orphans, the aged, the homeless and all those who simply cannot afford to buy food.
The new UBUNTU Community Hall will also be the venue for daily literacy classes, sewing, knitting, the new gym, martial arts, yoga, concerts, theatre, talent shows, movies, documentaries and much more activity - a true community centre.
The Bad State of the Hall
The badly vandalised town hall was rescued from complete destruction by Michael Tellinger and the UBUNTU movement in Waterval Boven, South Africa. When we took over the venue it was in a disgusting state. The doors were all open and broken, some were ripped off causing damage to frames and structure; everything inside this amazing large venue was broken, stolen and vandalised. Most of the fixtures in the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets, plumbing, lights and electrical wires were ripped out and damaged.

The Restoration:
The first thing we did was to install metal security gates on 4 external doors, to prevent vandals from entering and causing more damage. Then the real work started. We spent 4 months cleaning, scrubbing, sweeping, mopping, scraping, sanding, painting, wiring, plumbing, fixing and restoring... to turn it into a functioning multi purpose community hall that will serve the people. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tables-chairs-for-ubuntu-community-kitchen |
