SPRING HATH SPRUNG, and everything feels more hopeful and alive. Even though there are still days of gloom and darkness to get through, we know that sunny days are just ahead. How can we help our communities bloom, and how can we pay forward all the things for which we are grateful?

As we think about our institution and how it advances the public good, we recognise that the world is facing multiple challenges including global conflicts, humanitarian crises, and a climate emergency.

December is already here, bringing to an end another year of successes and challenges for us all. As you take time to reflect on 2023 and prepare for the new year, we hope that you will have a comforting and joyful holiday season, as well as the chance to be of service to each other.

NOW THAT WE HAVE SHAMELESSLY USED OUR SPRINGBOK PRIDE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, we are asking for your 2023 end-of-year charitable gift to the Wits Fund. Wits (and South Africa) need us and every dollar will go a long way. No matter the size of your donation, whether it’s helping to pay a student’s outstanding fees to enable them to graduate with the rest of their class or establishing a named scholarship in a loved one’s name, we can help guide you so your giving will be maximized.

AUTUMN LEAVES ARE FALLING, AND THE SKIES ARE GREY. The world is feeling fragile, and our thoughts are about how to make sure future generations don’t repeat the mistakes of our pasts. We should each look for ways to make the world better, one small act of love at a time.
