Osler

Inclusivity. Cognisance. Respect. Empathy.

Osler's vision & mission:

Osler serves as a community away from one’s native community. We create a community where our members feel seen, represented, empowered and driven to grow as individuals. We believe in developing future leaders and laying the groundwork to create the world we wish to see.

What are we currently doing?

Rise Against Hunger - Community Morning –Collaboration with Rise Against Hunger. An Osler tradition: Sandwich making during O-week as a 1st year activity, but also having other walk in’s help out with sandwich making.
Second Hands Of Hope - Supporting Nikita Van Schoor (an Osler student) with marketing her weekly ingredient needs for Second hands of hope, on our Instagram so that she can make her weekly meals and distribute them to the homeless in Cape Town.
Valentines Day Great Wall Of Love - The great wall of love will be a wall made up of sticki notes written by students. These notes will be notes of love and appreciation – anything or anyone they love or appreciate.
One-To-One - We will host a stall at the annual One-to-one in Cape Town for the intellectually disabled. The stall will have a game for the children to play, and prizes for everyone who plays.
Blessing Bags - Blessing bags: hopefully continue the tradition set out by Bianca of 2020 in collaboration with Second Hands Of Hope where we gather a bunch of essentials and place them in blessings bags. These blessing bags will be distributed to those in need. The project will run throughout the year so that we may have a huge culmination of essentials and essentially, more blessing bags.
