“We will spend less on food and use the money we are saving to meet the children’s other needs like sports, clothing and education,  Ashton, a Grade Three pupil living at the village also commended National Foods for its donation. I want to thank National Foods for giving us mealie meal so that we will never go to bed hungry. The sadza is tasty and different. I am looking forward to enjoying it everyday.” she said
