Bluewater Bay United Church is a Community / City church on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay), South Africa. We have for a number of years sought to serve the impoverished communities in our immediate area. We run and fund a feeding scheme that feeds between forty and sixty children per day. This feeding scheme has developed into an Early Learning Center in Wells Estate and we are in the process of erecting a timber classroom.
 


The proposed new Kitchen (2003)


The Kitchen as it is now (2004)

 
In 2003 we were invited to take on the Swartkops Primary School as a project.

  • We firstly needed to develop a kitchen from which to daily feed the 500 children of the school.

  • Secondly we intend to paint the school, which has not been done in more than ten years.

  • The third project is to refurbish the toilets which are in an almost complete state of disrepair.

2004 is the second year of feeding where three teams of volunteers serve this school. The whole school is fed three times a week with hot cooked meals.
