Community Service SHAWCO in UCT: Volunteerism is a significant contributor to the global GDP. Volunteering can result in a neighborhood that is more socially connected and a community that is more cohesive. People who participate in community service are inspired to become more concerned with civic involvement and their obligations as citizens.
Each week, 1300 students are assigned educational assignments to help them improve their academic skills through the academic support and homework help provided by the education program.
