RAG

 

We are proud to announce that our RAG partners for 2023 are House Education and Comercii!!!!

 

RAG stands for 'Reach out And Give, and this is the University of Pretoria's official charity organization made up by one EC or HC member of every single structure that operates under the university. Our RAG EC member under Docendo is our very own Njabuliso Mkhtshwa.

"In my term, I want us to display the traits of embracing diversity, inclusivity, empowerment as well as respect. For the whole duration of my term, I want us to improve ourselves in terms of accessibility, student care and development, and not forgetting to prioritise a conducive environment for learning and teaching. With these portfolios I wish to get away with the narrative of student structures being invisible; I want our sense of community engagement to begin with us as a team. Through us being there for each other, being our biggest fans, practising care and consideration of the other."

The following events have been planned:

  • A can, blanket and sanitary products drive for the less fortunate - We will be receiving these donated items from willing parties and individuals. This drive will be posted on Instagram so that people know about it and offer what they wish to.
  • Animal Shetler Visit - Available EC members will visit an animal shelter around Hatfield; play with the animals, clean the shelters, and get to learn more about animal behaviour.
  • A Partneship night with our RAG partners - A day of knotting the tie with our RAG partners. All shall enjoy and be merry.
  • RAG of Hope Day - This is a UP Fun-Filled activit(ies) day for all UP students and the general public. We shall be selling recyclables, taking part in all planned activities, engaging and marketing ourselves to students and the UP community at large.
  • We will be visiting schools to donate the beforementioned donations
  • Annual Scavenger Hunt - Another fun-filled activity for students to engage and enjoy themselves in a treasure hunt. Clues will be provided, and certificates of participation will be issued.
  • A Food Garden Project for Mandela Day - We will be visiting either an old or orphanage home and get our hands dirty in the garden. This will be a fun community engagement activity that brings hope and restores faith in mankind. 
  • A Plant a Tree Project for Mandela Day - House Docendo cares about our natural environment. As a result, we will be planting a tree to raise environmental awareness—cut a tree, plant a tree!
