Wouldn't it be awesome if you could volunteer at a NPO you're passionate about, AND get paid to do it - I bet a lot more people would get to some serious do-gooding if that were the case... cue the Vodacom Change the World programme. Vodacom will pay you a monthly salary if you dedicate your time, energy and skills to a local NPO for a year. It's as easy as approaching a NPO, gaining their support, agreeing on an action plan and submitting your application.

Finally, gather your friends and family and head down to the annual AFDA Film Festival student showcase this weekend in Joburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
