05 May 2012

On Saturday 05 May 2012, Ekurhuleni West College in Association with Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality hosted a 5km Fun Run that took place at EWC Tembisa Campus. The theme for the event was "Run to Shelter the underprivileged."

The aim of the Fun Run was to encourage the community to work together in alleviating poverty and restoring human dignity, morals and values that are swiftly fading away. The event also served as a charitable event aimed at raising funds for building a house or houses for the destitute families.

Food parcels and clothes were donated to destitute families as identified by the Health and Social Welfare department of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in Tembisa.

Staff members, Community members, learners from Tembisa high schools and students of EWC participated in the 5 Km Fun Run. About 450 runners participated in the Fun run. After the Fun Run all participants were treated to a braai.
