“When Sophie Chaney packed up her bags and headed off to her co-op in Cape Town, South Africa, she anticipated working in the field for the South African National Biodiversity Institute. The biology major has done that, often collecting pollen samples from flowers in order to compare them to other samples captured in other areas.

But what she’s also done is start a soup kitchen. The idea was born, Chaney says, from a French student who wanted to offer something to her community on her last day there. But Sophie and a few of her friends decided it shouldn’t be a one-time event. Instead, they now cook, set up and feed dozens of people every week.”–COS News Article by Kara Sassone
