In tribute of late President Nelson Mandela's birthday, a variety of community engagement activities were hosted. To honour his legacy, two staff members, Melanie Willems and Lizzie Witbooi of the Centre for Student Counselling and Development participated in the "Toasties for Tummies" Initiative on 22 July 2015.
The "Toasties for Tummies" Initiative is a Mandela Day Initiative. They assisted and prepared sandwiches for people who are in dire need of food within the Stellenbosch surrounding areas. Approximately 7883 sandwiches were made. The sandwiches were distributed to various public schools, welfare organisations as well as Stellenbosch Feeding Scheme Action. It was a great privilege to be able to lend a helping hand to feed a hungry person. This is an initiative focusing on enhancing a sustainable social responsibility. It also enhances staff's social economic awareness regarding people who are living in poverty. What a wonderful way to contribute to the community!
