Westville Varsity College public relations and events coordinator, Kara Lortan said on the night, students had the option to arrive and enjoy the movie in their cars and those who were dropped off had the option to book a spot to sit at the event held on campus.

“The money was raised through ticket sales and all proceeds will be donated to the school which was ‘adopted’ by the IIE’s Varsity College Westville VC Cares, a student volunteer body,” said Lortan.

In September, the staff and students at the campus were encouraged to collect sanitary towels. Through that initiative, a much-needed sanitary towel donation, valued at R1500, was collected and donated to the school.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
