Mandela day

Now this day was amazing for the third years of Homoeopathy, busy people on all levels just after they finished writing an exam on a Thursday morning, On the birthday of the greatest man whom liberated the people of South Africa Tata Nelson Mandela, they decided to take part in a community engagement walk organised by the health faculty of the Doornfontein campus UJ. 

before the walk:3rd year Homoeopathy students with Dr Patel(in black) on Mandela day

Watching everyone’s faces who took part was a huge excitement showing what I would like to call Sisonke (togetherness).this class has been rather marvellous throughout the year doing awesome things together. Amongst other things that happened in the walk was the group staying together wearing the Mandela day T-shirts designed for the walk, singing and chanting in the streets of Elis park cleaning with meek hearts laughing street by street.

(ready to take upon 67 streets of  elis park together with other health students)

The great part about this walk is that the 3^rd years were the only class from homoeopathy department amongst the health departments that was there, as a third year student myself I am proud to have been part of that initiative that the university took. I still look forward in celebrating this day next year together with our awesome team leader Dr Patel whom loves to sweep the streets and give back so much because she is so amazing, she even organised a snack for the Jo’burg streetmen/hobos from the snack we had during the clean walk. ”Sisonke forever team 18 members homoes”
