<strong>Crawford</strong> College North Coast<br />
Sunesan Reddy in Grade 12 is the head of the Student Tutoring<br />
Programme and Secretary of <strong>Crawford</strong> College North Coast’s<br />
Community Service Club, and he enjoys seeing a smile on someone’s<br />
face after he has assisted them in some small way. This has propelled<br />
him into the field of being of service to others.<br />
“Law has always fascinated me, especially the element of arguing a<br />
good point,” says Sunesan. With this in mind, and by combining the<br />
three aspects that he cares about the most, Sunesan’s dream career is<br />
to join the National Prosecuting Agency. Here he can be of service to<br />
people, work with our diverse history and debate for the betterment<br />
of others. Sunesan realised he could make a major difference in<br />
someone’s life by providing them with the justice that they have a right<br />
too. He could help someone in need to be heard and have their story<br />
told, as well as protect the interests of all South Africans. The National<br />
Prosecuting Agency plays a major role in our democracy and society.<br />
It keeps the leaders and citizens of our country in check and speaks<br />
for the victims of crime. It’s not a perfect institution but it is something<br />
Sunesan aspires to be a part of and hopefully better.<br />

<strong>Crawford</strong> College Pretoria<br />
Ramadan is a month in which Muslims increase<br />
the amount of charity given to those who are less<br />
fortunate. In light of this, two students, Aadila<br />
Sirkhot and Lihaz Joosuf decided to raise funds<br />
to buy winter hampers for the ground staff in<br />
recognition for all that they do on a daily basis.<br />
Several parents generously contributed and 10<br />
hampers of approximately R500 each were handed<br />
out to the very excited staff. It’s wonderful that our<br />
students took the initiative to give to those in their<br />
community. Good job!<br />
Dream job? Be a<br />
superhero – in a cape<br />
and slippers!<br />
Sandton College<br />
supported Slipper<br />
Day in May. This<br />
is a campaign<br />
that Reach For A<br />
Dream Foundation<br />
runs every year<br />
encouraging South<br />
Africans to wear their<br />
slippers to work and<br />
school. The initiative helps raise funds for children fighting<br />
life-threatening illnesses. This year their slogan was “Not<br />
All Heroes Wear Capes”. <strong>Crawford</strong> College Sandton has<br />
supported this campaign for the past few years and we<br />
raised R7 580 this year. Hope, Courage and Strength are the<br />
values that make dreams come true, inspire positivity and<br />
healing, and embrace the future.<br />
