    COLLEGE NEWS No 12 www.bridgehouse.org.za 11 May 2018 ____________________________________________________________________ Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge Prize During the holidays, Bridge House prizewinners Tim Vermeulen (far left) and Bocasho Braaf (third from left), who came 2nd and 3rd in the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge 2017, were treated to their magnificent prize. Tim wrote the following report: Twenty four hours hours of flying is no fun. No amount of movies can make up for it, but our destination, the famous Silicon Valley home to inventors of anything and everything awesome, made it all worthwhile! This was the reward for the top three high school learners in the country in the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge 2017, an all expenses paid trip to the hub of innovation and entrepreneurs. Freebies and infinite refills were everywhere we went in San Francisco. The freebies meant I came back with a new wardrobe, including a hat! There was free pizza to fill ourselves with, at just about every event, not two or three boxes but at least twenty or thirty boxes! And, Allan Gray generously gave us pocket-money for all our shopping. We barely had time to sleep as we chased from one amazing event to the next, to learn more about: the latest block-chain technology; A.I.; how virtual and augmented reality are applied in the operating theatre and to network with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. We were shown an amazing world of progress and new types of internet that had been created. Trains that could change an eight- hour commute to a one-hour commute using a vacuum and extremely powerful magnets.

  • Youth Knowledge on Transmission of HIV/AIDS in Stellenbosch Area, South Africa ­ Does Socio­Economics, Gender and Race Play a Role?
    Kurs SAD483 vt 2008 Examensarbete 20 poäng / 30 högskolepoäng Youth knowledge on transmission of HIV/AIDS in Stellenbosch area, South Africa - Does socio-economics, gender and race play a role? Författare: Anna Sonrei Abstract This thesis investigates learners, from grade 8-12, medical and cultural knowledge of how HIV and AIDS transmit. The investigation was performed in four different schools with structurally different backgrounds set in Stellenbosch area, South Africa. One could expect people from different structural and economic classes to react and interpret educational material differently based on their differing belief systems. These differences in belief systems are normally brought about by families© differences in ethnical, religious, economic and educational background. Some elements of some belief systems may even be incompatible with the educational material presented. For instance, beliefs based on traditional medicine and/or religion may propose non-scientific solutions to cure or live with HIV/AIDS. The Department of Education National Education Policy Act on HIV/AIDS for Learners in Public Schools 1996 (Notice of 1999), WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS, UNFPA and other NGOs have all come together in the issue of HIV/AIDS and are on the same page on how the virus transmits. The South African government have been ambivalent in the issue of HIV/AIDS and have acted and made some contradictive comments that also could influence how people view this disease. This thesis presents the understanding of the HIV/AIDS phenomenon by learners of different ages that represent the most prominent races and the different economic classes in the Western Cape region of South Africa at the time of writing in 2006-2007.
