A Brooklyn charity, Helping Hands, is collecting stationery, uniforms and shoes for needy school pupils. The organisation’s founder, Fay Vogel, says she will be handing over the items to children in need before school starts, but the drive will continue throughout January. “The stationery does not need to be new, but the pupils need to be able to use it for the school year,” she said. Call 071 008 2348 if you would like to help. Picture: Motshwari Mofokeng/ANA
