Receiving the donation on behalf of the Vision Market at Chicken Soup Factory Turning – point, Operation Superintendent Madam Annie W.

She pointed out that they lacked buckets and other materials that would allow customers to wash their hands properly before buying.
“We have to close the other end of the market due to the lack of sufficient buckets to enable our customers to wash their hands and follow other important measures put in place by the government. But today, receiving these buckets and other items makes me believe we still have our children that care about us their mothers,” Madam Kolle said.
