"As a Miss Tembisa Finalist 2021, I am enthusiastic about children's health and ensuring that every child has access to food on a daily basis.

The outstanding finalist went on to say that as this is a ongoing issue, the center requires regular assistance and she will always be make time to help the needy childrens. "The center needs 200 meals per day as the number of needy youngsters continues to rise," Concluded Moloto.
