What are we currently doing?

The Mother Maria Project: The name of our project is ‘The Mother Maria Project’ as we are contributing to “Tannie” Maria’s project and she basically fulfills the role of a caring mother not just to us as a res but to the community of Cloetesville. Our first years will be the first to contribute towards this project. In their welcoming letter, they will receive the necessary instructions on how to make a ‘Jar of Hope’. They will then fill an old coffee jar with ingredients such as rice, lentils, soup mix and a stock cube. This jar will then serve as an easy (base) soup and will be donated towards ‘The Mother Maria Project’. This will be a continuous project that we will support and by the end of the year we will have the whole res participate and those who are willing can even volunteer to help “Tannie” Maria at the soup kitchen in our outreach towards her project.
Wellness Project: We will also launch a wellness project using our social media platform. This wellness project is to reach the wider community and to use our knowledge and field of study to contribute towards a physically and mentally healthy society. Here the wellness HK and I will work together sending out healthy nutrition facts and food ideas, fitness motivation and the benefits thereof and so forth. We want our social media not just to be informative on academics and the happenings in res but to be a place where everyone can recharge and realise the benefits of being mindful to your mental, spiritual and physical health.
