Appeal for donations in DressAGraduate campaign CapeTimesSA
Cape Town – UCT graduate Ruby Chikwiri has launched the #DressAGraduate campaign, appealing to people with “graduation appropriate” attire to donate it to a graduate in need. With graduation season in the air, she started a thread on Twitter encouraging people to add the items they would like to donate, with their sizes and locations.
"This can often put a damper on the day, as a day of celebration should not be clouded by financial strain.” Chikwiri said while she would be missing her graduation due to outstanding fees that she is unable to settle, she wants others to experience their graduation. Chikwiri said she was now working on the logistics of transporting the items she has received to students from various institutions. She said just a few days into the campaign, she has received a lot of support.
