The Faculty of Theology has handed over a cheque of R4 300 to the No Student Hungry campaign. Prof. Francois Tolmie, the Dean of the faculty, says it is important to him and his staff that students do not go hungry. The amount is made up of donations from staff in the faculty.
René Pelser from Student Affairs, who handed over the cheque, says the university’s aim is to collect 200 000 “bites” this year (a “bite” equals one meal for a student). Others on campus who have contributed are Veritas and Accommodation Services. Kovsie Culture is to launch projects to collect funds.
Staff, faculties and departments can contact René on x9087 if they want to contribute to the NSH campaign.
