YIPPSA Guide Final P1-40:YIPPSA Guide 2009 3/4/09 4:55 PM Page 3 foreword “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” DESMOND TUTU Each of us has the capacity to make a positive contribution to the world we live in. Each of us can participate actively in building a better society. Each of us can make a difference. The Youth in Philanthropy Programme South Africa (YIPPSA) is founded on these beliefs, and is focused on encouraging youth participation and social responsibility amongst high school learners. Philanthropy is about giving – money, time and energy. It is also about each of us understanding our own role in making a difference, and about being willing to make that difference. Philanthropy is not just about giving to people in need or to “those less fortunate”. Rather, philanthropy is about participating actively in our communities and it is about providing support for ideas and projects that we believe in. We need to encourage all South Africans to make a contribution in whatever ways they are able. The YIPPSA programme offers ideas, activities and hands-on opportunities for youth to take up the challenge of active community involvement. This YIPPSA handbook was developed over two years using input from the programme participants. It offers information and resources in support of teachers, school learners and other youth who want to learn about philanthropy, giving, the donor world, fund-raising and event planning. Importantly, the YIPPSA programme is offered in the South African context of social challenges, human rights and responsibilities, and of building youth participation and youth leadership. This too is reflected in the handbook. To ensure easy synthesis into the South African high school curriculum, the YIPPSA programme and handbook have been developed directly in line with the South African National Curriculum for Lifeskills Orientation for Grades 10 to 12. We have provided lesson ideas, along with clear indications of where these fit with the relevant curriculum-based learning outcomes and assessment standards. We hope this handbook is of value to many high school teachers, and we welcome teacher input and comments. We anticipate that the handbook will be the ‘go-to guide’ for learners and youth seeking advice and tips on fund-raising, and we welcome comments and suggestions from youth groups and learners. We believe in our South African youth who are not just our leaders of today, but are also our leaders of the future. This philanthropy learning programme is an exciting contribution to developing youth leadership and building youth participation in South Africa.

While assisting in building skills to access giving, the institute also promotes social responsibility and {personal philanthropy. By participating in philanthropic activities, youth develop knowledge about the importance of giving, and acquire the skills needed to contribute services to their communities. They strengthen their own awareness of fundamental human rights and values, which enables them to relate to a wide range of people from different cultures and contexts. With this in mind, Inyathelo developed a programme to target high-school youth and in keeping with their mission to promote philanthropy in South Africa. In February 2006, the YIPPSA pilot programme was introduced to three high schools in the Western Cape. It was soon apparent that this programme had the potential to make a real impact among school-going youth and in the learners’ communities.

Environmentalism in South Africa: A Sociopolitical Perspective FARIEDA KHAN I. Introduction South Africa is a country that has undergone dramatic political changes in recent years, transforming itself from a racial autocracy to a democratic society in which discrimination on racial and other grounds is forbidden, and the principle of equality is enshrined in the Constitution. These political changes have been reflected in the envi- ronmental sector which, similarly, has transformed its wildlife-cen- tered, preservationist approach (appealing mainly to the affluent, white minority), to a holistic conservation ideology which incorporates social, economic, and political, as well as ecological, aspects.

  • 21 April 2017 Dear Parents Welcome Back. I Trust You Have All Enjoyed
    21 April 2017 Dear Parents Welcome back. I trust you have all enjoyed the longer-than-normal Easter holiday and, like your sons, are ready for the unique challenges of the second term. I addressed the boys at the last assembly of the first term, emphasising the fact that they will need to exercise all their skills of prior planning, goal-setting (in all aspects of school life) and time-management, very well. In addition, a strong work ethic will be required in order to have a fulfilling academic, sporting and cultural term, which will be disrupted by next week’s long weekend. Your sons will require strong support, as usual, from yourselves and I trust that this will be an enjoyable term for all. A large number of rugby and hockey teams represented SACS at a number of pre-season Easter festivals during the break. I wish to thank the staff and boys for sacrificing hard-earned holiday time in order to establish a solid foundation for the Winter sporting season. I am confident that these tours will prove beneficial. I also thank the parents who supported our lads across the length and breadth of our county. Messrs Peverley, Grobler, van Zyl, Barnard and Willows accompanied the hockey teams, whilst Messrs van Selm, Maurer, Wepener, O’Connor, Molnar and Southgate went to the various rugby festivals. Thank you to all of them.
