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.

Description: Melodies From Paris Tags: Melodies From Paris

On 6 May 2016, the French soprano Laetitia Grimaldi and pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz offer a programme of Romantic French songs, presented in the style of a Parisian salon concert from the belle époque, at the Bloemfontein Campus. From the heights of Marcel Proust to the decadence of the Moulin Rouge, the belle époque (circa 1871-1914) was a time when culture flourished more than ever in Paris. The salons of Paris became places where poets, painters, and composers would meet to share their art.

Items on the performance list include: Henri Duparc: L'Invitation au voyage; Soupir, Chanson triste, Franz Liszt: Jeux d'eaux à la villa d'Este, Gabriel Fauré: Le secret; Clair de lune; Romance sans paroles, Op. 17 No. 3, Jean-Philippe Rameau: Rigaudon, from Dardanus (trans. Godowsky), Reynaldo Hahn: À Chloris; Quand je fut pris au pavillon, Charles Gounod: Le premier jour de mai; Venise; Viens! Les gazons sont verts, Georges Bizet: Chansons-mélodies: Extase, Joseph Cantaloube: Baïlèro, from Chants d'Auvergne, Charles-Valentin Alkan: Recueil de chants, Op. 38 No. 1, Léo Delibes: Chant de l'almée; Les filles de Cadix.
