Sonop

Sonop’s vision & mission:

Sonop’s vision is to give a group of female students at the University of Stellenbosch, not only the opportunity of being Maties, but also the unique experience of having a community- where every Sonopper is empowered to reach their full potential, for their own benefit and to the advantage of everyone they will encounter as a Global citizen. Our mission is to establish Sonop as a dynamic entity, by staying true to our values. To establish Sonop’s identity as an entity, that is focused on building relationships-intentionally, within the residence as well as with the greater community. To be united in our diversity and strive to be the best residence we can be.

What are we currently doing?

Sonop will visit SPCA once every two months in collaboration with other residences. 5km jog or walk with other residences and entry fee is pads or food. Jars of hope initiative with lentils, soup and rice. Outdoor movie night with other residences where the entry fee is pads or canned foods which will be donated to women and children's shelter. We will talk about breast cancer awareness and have a stationery drive. Within Sonop will be a blood drive, baking cupcakes for an old age home , motivational cards for residences, plants to be donated to health workers, Sonopper4Sonopper initiative for needy students and garden in collaboration with the sustainability committee.
