Trading Live for Mandela: Sign up now!

It’s that time of the year again, when Rhodes University and Grahamstown gear up to participate in Trading Live for Mandela Day all day on 26 July 2013.

It’s that time of the year again, when Rhodes University and Grahamstown gear up to participate in Trading Live for Mandela Day all day on 26 July 2013.

CLICK HERE FOR THE APPLICATION FORM

In 2012, over 40 student organisations, departments and community organisations participated in the institutional community engagement initiative and made it a phenomenal success.

This year, Trading Live for Mandela Day will take place on 26 July from 8am until 5pm.

The basic idea for Trading Live is that all staff, students and community organisations associated with Rhodes donate 67 minutes of their time on the day to building and strengthening relationships of reciprocity in our community that is Grahamstown.

They will do this by making offers to trade their skills, talents, interests or hobbies with other interested parties, and making requests to receive a skill or trade from another person in Grahamstown.

Give a little, get a little. Be sure not to miss out on the exciting university-wide initiative.

If you would like to work with your usual volunteer group to do something special for Mandela Day or work with your friends, get a team together and fill in the offer & request form – you can click here for the link.

In line with the central objective of Mandela Day, this project provides staff at Rhodes with an opportunity to take action to help change the world for the better. 

Make sure you hand your form in at the Rhodes University Community Engagement office on Prince Alfred Street no later than 5pm on 27 May.

For more information on how to take part please visit http://www.ru.ac.za/communityengagement/events/mandeladay or alternatively please contact the RU Community Engagement (RUCE) office: Nosipho Mngomezulu on 046 603 7230, or n.mngomezulu@ru.ac.za.
