Following the workshop, community engagement staff were able to spend time on site with several KZN based organisations and see some of the successes and ongoing challenges of their work for themselves.

As part of a new initiative by the Foundation, on 26 May members of thirty organisations from KwaZulu-Natal, who receive funding through the Foundation’s community engagement programme, met at a workshop held in the Elangeni Maharani hotel in Durban.

This programme has grown since last year with 11 participating universities where senior HCI Foundation funded students are meeting on a monthly basis with first years.

Visits to the universities where our bursary recipients are studying are a high point of the annual calendar, for us and the students.
