Social investment made fun

SOUTH Africa’s second annual ‘Do It Day’ is coming up on October 20 and the deadline for volunteers to sign up is October 13. An initiative of Greater Good SA, the Do It Day campaign connects volunteers with a wide variety of projects via its website, www.doitday.co.za. Companies have a choice as to how they can get involved. They can select a project, for example planting a vegetable garden, and provide a team of volunteers plus sponsorship, or only volunteers or only sponsorship. Individual volunteers can sign up to do jobs such as painting or maintenance, where they’ll be teamed up with other volunteers, or they can choose a project that requires only one person. Greater Good SA is a non-profit organisation that provides detailed information on around 600 bona fide South African social and community development efforts and facilitates giving to these npo’s via the website, www.greatergoodsa.co.za.
