Robby P, one of the representative of the MOM movement said, “We saw it as necessary to partner with the Stand-Up Committee (charity organisation) to serve our community members, which is all in our best interest because we want to improve the lives of our people in our communities; from our side, Sarah Barkley identified Stand- Up Committee as an organisation that needs assistance because they are doing good in their community by aiding underprivileged people, especially children.
“However we have donated food, clothes, toys and a chest freezer to assist the Stand-Up Committee to do their purposeful duty without hassles, they take two days every week to feed 80- 200 underprivileged community members; as a movement we feel that we have a divided country, so in the act of kindness we hope to unite the country,” Robby P adamantly uttered.He continued saying, “Our leaders don’t do enough to help our communities so we hope our relationship with Stand- Up Committee will address the issue, this is the first time we are helping out a charity organisation since the movement was jointly formed by Jarette Petzer and Joanita Van Wyk in July 2020; we are also calling upon all people in various areas around South Africa to stand up and represent their communities so that we can all unite and fight against corruption in our country,” he insightfully expressed.
