Success Stories

"Ek was baie dankbaar om met ROCS saam te werk, aangesien hulle sonder bevooroordeling en politieke agendas waardevolle dienste aan die gemeenskap gelewer het. Die naskoolse program het leerders se akademiese vordering verbeter, en ROCS het ook broodnodige voeding aan minderbevoorregte kinders verskaf. Ek waardeer veral die rekenaar- en internetvaardigheidsopleiding en die volhoubare projekte soos skoonmaak en tuinmaak wat die gemeenskap bemagtig het – welgedaan, Reginald en span!"

- William Pohlman, School Principal

"ROCS Cares brings organizations together to make a positive impact, providing opportunities for the less fortunate to develop skills through computer classes and combating unemployment through the SEF program. Additionally, ROCS rewards academically excelling school learners and serves as a humanitarian organization, driven solely by a desire to serve the community without self-interest. Through these initiatives, ROCS aims to empower individuals, foster community development, and promote social change."

- Christopher Andrews, Community Leader/ volunteer at ROCS Cares NPO

"Met verskillende geleenthede wat aan die gemeenskap gebied word deur ROCS Cares, word probeer om mense se selfbeeld, self bewustheid en uitkyk op die lewe te verander."
