INSPIRATION
To the Young Girls

To the young girls
Oh young girl, where is your pride?
Can you not see that his just trying to get in between
your thighs?
Use you and then go,
But you keep going back to him begging for mo’
“Take me I’m all yours”, that’s what you say
But you not alone, there’s more like you running his way
I ask you young girl, where is your pride?
Can you not see that his taking you for a ride?
“I love you baby, can you not see”
He lies blatantly
He’ll say anything to get in your jeans
But he does not mean it, not one darn thing
Listen here young girl, he’s been around the block
Knows exactly what to say to get your undies off
He’ll make you feel like the only one
That’s his way of “having fun”
Use you till he’s had enough
Then ups and leaves, without saying much
At the end of the day
You left with the pain
His long gone and you all alone
Left to pick up the pieces while he moves on
A birthday for the
betterment of all
Kinga Siejek
When you think of your birthday, you
can’t help but be excited. Especially
as a child. the idea that one day out
of the whole year, you have one day
dedicated to the celebration of you.
Presents, cake, a party, most parents and people go out of their way to
have a memorable and fun birthday.
But how about making your special
day about someone else?
That is exactly what an amazing staff
member on Campus decided to do.
Mari-Leigh Pienaar, a lecturer in the
School of Languages dedicated the
whole of her May birthday month to
supporting a local non-profit initiative, iCare, which is run by Charlene
Hefer, a student of Pienaar’s.
The charity raises funds to organise events for children and adults in
need. Donations asked for include
children’s clothes, toys, toiletries,
food, blankets, and much more. On
such event that Pienaar is asking
help for is an Easter themed project
for a children’s home in Meyerton on
7 June.
How to get involved
To help not only make Mari-Leigh Piennar’s birthday a special one, but to
also help iCare and the people they
aide, they are asking for any form of
donations which can then be taken to
20 - Student 24/7
Mari-Leigh’s office (Building 6 - 104)
or you can drop it off by Building 7 203.
While the dealine for the Easther
themed event may have passed,
there are still many events that will
be happening throughout the year,
and help help will be greatly appreciated.
The best way to enjoy a birthday is to
spend it with people you love; where
everyone around you is happy. What
better way to make that happen
than to help bring some joy to those
around you.
What a great way to bring the staff
and students together, and helping
the community all at once?
Happy Birthday Mari-Leigh,
and may those that you and
iCare are helping enjoy your
birthday with you!
