On Thursday, 6 May 2010, the Howard College Executive Committee hosted an Awareness Day to existing Golden Key members in terms of how one can participate and contribute to organisation. The chapter informed current prospective members on the benefits the Society has to offer. The chapter committee was able to address a substantial amount of students who will make valuable and lucrative contributions to the organisation in the current year and years to come. The Pietermaritzburg chapter collected second-hand books to donate to Mpolweni High School, an underprivileged high school without a proper library. They managed to collect almost 900 books, including fiction and non-fiction books as well as study guides, all of which were delivered to the school on Tuesday, 8 June 2010.
“The concept of sensitizing the top 15% of achievers toward social responsibility is a humane concept. These individuals are the decision makers of the future. Golden Key infuses morality, a balanced approach between individual ambitions and corporate social responsibility and prepares these top performers to act in the interest of all humanity. Practical experience during the student years infuses that spirit of compassion and caring in these future statesmen of our continent.”
