Rock for the Angels Charity Concert - A Class Act

On the 22nd of July Rachel's Angels hosted their very first Rock for the Angels charity concert. The Concert was held at the Stellenbosch Town Hall and boasted a star-studded line-up skimming the cream of South African Artists the likes of Koos Kombuis, Dowwe Dolla, Natalia da Rocha and Niel Rademan.

All proceeds went towards the newly launched fund through which the Rachel's Angels Trust would like to help deserving students participating in the programme. Often students are hampered by financial burdens which prevents them from achieving success amongst a sea of privalged co-students.

A Big Thank You To On The Dot

 

We would like to thank On The Dot for donating R4 000 towards the Rock for the Angels Charity Concert. We appreciate your support greatly and without such gracious donations our initiatives would not be possible.

 

Thank you!

 

Rachel's Angels sponsors Lydia and Vesta for the 2010 RAG

During January the streets of Stellenbosch come alive with a buzz of excitement and activities as the first year students arrive in droves to pursue their tertiary dreams. This year the Media 24 Rachel’s Angels formed a part of these festivities. The Trust, which operates in the Western Cape in association with the University of Stellenbosch, will be the main sponsor of the Lydia Ladies Res and Vesta Men’s ward for the 2010 RAG.

One of the major goals of RAG is to inspire students to be responsible, productive and giving members of the public who take part in community projects, behave responsibly and lend a helping hand where they can.  This is in line with the message the Rachel’s Angels programme wants to communicate to students and offers them an opportunity to “lend a helping hand”.  “As RAG has such a fantastic effect on all the participants, organisers and spectators at the events, it offers a perfect platform to promote the Rachel’s Angels programme and to recruit our next mentors,” says Jafta.

Lydia Ladies Res and Vesta Men’s ward will embrace a better future with the theme “Love Change”, which is their interpretation of the RAG 2010 theme, Technicolorlegacy.co.za.  “We are very excited about our partnership with the Media 24 Rachel’s Angels Trust and are proud of the work done through this programme.  It re-enforces the message that students should be responsible citizens and for this reason our main goal with this year’s RAG would be to create awareness of the Rachel’s Angels programme amongst all students,”  says Peter Andersen, House Committee Vesta 09'/10 .
