Nelson Mandela

UWC is greatly saddened by the loss of our Honorary President Nelson Mandela, whose life was an inspiration for our movement and its values of peace and sustainability. We are proud that Mr Mandela’s children and grandchildren were educated at UWC Waterford Kamhlaba, showing his belief in and commitment to the work we do. Part of his legacy will be the example he set of striving to spread peace and justice in the world, his ability to forgive and inspire others to do the same and his understanding of the role education plays in bringing positive change.

Keith Clark, Executive Director of UWC International

As Deputy Head Girl and Student Council President at Berkley as well as Bermuda Youth Parliament's Secretary, Tomisha demonstrated great leadership skills, intelligence and dedication to her work and community service.

Argus Walk the Walk

Thanks to all those alumni that participated in the Argus Walk the Walk last Sunday. I know Nikkita Scott managed to get a team of four together so many thanks Nikkita! To any-one who signed up but was not able to walk, thanks for your donation. It was a fun event and the Centre for Philanthropy and Argus did a great job.

It’s that time of year again! The Centre on Philanthropy, in partnership with Argus, are excited to launch this year’s Walk the Walk, the charity walk where the walker gets to choose which charity benefits from your registration fee.

It couldn’t be simpler – go online to www.racedayworld.com to register and choose your charity as the one they want their registration fee to go to. Last year more than $12,000 was donated to over 60 charities by 532 walkers – we would love to beat this record, but it’s up to you and the people who love your charity.

The UWC Bermuda charity number is 346 and we hope you will join us on our first fund raising event of the year. See the poster for details.

General Information Session

The Information Session was tonight at ACE and there were many great applicants.
Thanks to all for braving the heavy rain.
