EMS Faculty Student Committee (EBSK)

What are we currently doing?

Sandwich Drive for Stellenbosch Night Shelter - The Project will fall within the theme of Food Security and Health. It will encourage the students to participate in an initiative for the benefit of the less fortunate. We will make 150 sandwiches near the EMS Faculty buildings which will be transported to the Stellenbosch Night Shelter. Denise Paulse, the manager of the shelter has already been contacted with regards to the procedure to follow and any specific requirements to be considered.
