Every year, the Active Civic Teaching Office (ACT) at the University of the Free State runs the Big Give campaign to raise food, money to buy food, and other forms of assistance for needy students. This year is no different. ACT’s big project is raising money for sanitary pads for students on all three campuses. The project will run throughout Women’s Month, August 2021. Providing menstrual hygiene products to female students empower them to continue their studies in comfort.
Karen Scheepers, Assistant Director: Kovsie Support Services, said: “This year, one of the challenges that have been highlighted is the lack of sanitary wear for students. Therefore, we focus our Big Give campaign this year on addressing this challenge that students are experiencing.”
Be part of the Big Give campaign by donating sanitary pads or money towards this initiative. Donation boxes are ready for donations at all the entrance gates of all three campuses. Your donation will go a long way in helping a deserving student.

| The afternoon was filled with fun, games and food as the Transformers spent time chatting and catching up. |
The HIV and AIDS Office peer educators, a group of students also known as the Transformers, were treated to a braai by the HIV and Aids office last month. This was in recognition of the hard work and commitment they showed while fulfilling their academic obligations during the first semester.
To date, the Transformers have been involved in the STI Campaign week, the First Things First testing campaign, on both the Bloemfontein and South Campuses and the screening of the documentary film ‘Taking Haart’. They also have ongoing mentoring sessions every Friday that are facilitated by Tarryn Nell from the HIV and Aids office.
