ATID aids city flood victims
ACT OF KINDNESS The Department of Architectural Technology and Interior Design recently visited the Roeland Street Fire Station to donate food parcels to flood victims.
Monday, 12 August 2024
The Department of Architectural Technology and Interior Design has made a significant contribution to flood relief efforts in the city by preparing and donating food parcels. The recent severe storms in the Western Cape left hundreds of Capetonians displaced and caused extensive damage to homes.
In response, the department's generous donation was delivered to the Roeland Street Fire Station, a key drop-off point for aid.
Rayner Moodley, Head of the Department, noted that the initiative was spearheaded by academic staff member Tasleema Mohamed. Moodley emphasised the importance of community engagement and the role of academic institutions in mobilising support for those in need.
The station commander expressed deep gratitude for the department’s contribution. Moodley added: "This effort underscores the value of giving back to the community and demonstrates how involving students and academic staff in charitable activities can significantly impact those less fortunate."
