VC Cares is a student body at The IIE’s Varsity College Pretoria that focus in giving back to the community. It consists of a team of students that forms the student body, but also large number of volunteers who participate in bigger projects.
Over the last couple of years, VC Cares have raised funds to purchase bicycles for less privileged children through the Quebeka initiative. The VC Cares students and VC Pretoria staff have built 10 toilets in the Hammanskraal elderly community. Furthermore, the VC Cares team have been involved on an annual basis, with Reach For A Dream in making several terminally ill children’s dreams become a reality.
The 2019 community engagement project is Adopt a School, we will be partnering with an impoverished school to support it on every level possible.
Our event, VC CARES GIVE BACK Movie night at the Botanical Gardens is in support of the above project. We are wanting to raise an awareness under our wider student body by means asking each person who attends the event to bring one or more tins of canned food, which will be donated to the families in need at the designated school above.
Entrance Fee: A can of food that will be donated to people in need
Bring the whole family, your own cooler boxes & picnic baskets and come enjoy an outdoor movie.
