I have recently noticed a trend in organisation involved in Corporate Social Investment (CSI ). CSI is defined as an innovative solution to an organisation or society most pressing issues and to bring change to the community.
Our School Representative Council (SRC ) has recently started a CSI programme by giving lunch boxes to deserving students that need financial assistance,they only do that for the ones that did not get meals bursaries from NSFAS offices. Student had to apply at the beggining of the year in order to receive lunch everyday at school. This is a good initiative that is being implemented by the SRC because in a way they looking after their internal public by giving back to the community(students) and meeting the needs of the students.The question that comes to my mind is , Is it really enough? what happens to the students when they get home or on weekends? are they saying students only get hungry when they are on campus?what about the other needs such as toiletries?
all in all this was a great initiative because this won't only benefit the students but it will benefit UJ as an organisation because definatly a good word of mouth is circulating out there.
truth be told its never enough hey but lets just give them credit for trying to help out
ReplyDeletetrue, as it is said " little goes a long way"
Deletei think it is not enough because some other students are afraid to go there because they are been mocked and the src there are really rude
ReplyDeletethat is really an issue bit i really do not understand why would we look down on each other because firstly we from different families and different backgrounds
Deletewell they are trying indeed but at the same time they are humiliating the students dignity. why cant they just give out money like the NSFAS does????
ReplyDeletei really do not see anything humulating here, they are trying to help students and i do not see anything wrong with the food because the food that the students get it is best quality and do not understand why as human being worry about what other people say
Deletewell i can say atleast they came up with such idea, but i dont understand they did in this way, what about if they're outside school (in their offcampus residentials)?its not not enough at all they need atleast to adopt another useful strategy
ReplyDeletethat is exaclty my point buit i think as students we should be greatful because they could have chosen not to do anything
DeleteYes it is not enough but @list they are doing something for their fellow students,I was taught to appreciate every little thing i get,i just think they should do the same and stop complaining
ReplyDeleteI think this programme is not enough because those students they wont be able to get something to eat during weekends.They need to get another sponsor to assist them to ensure that those students they receive food even on weekends by giving them enough money to buy food.
ReplyDeleteyes and i think as students if we could bring idea for the SRC on how to go about this matter it would be a great initiative than us complaining about it
DeleteAi this meal project is waist of money and time, yes is not enough they should have given the students money.
ReplyDeleteWell for me its better than nothing but it is simply not enough so I think they should think it through because other students are struggling.
