All of these were ticked when it came to Renaldo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe in the golden rule of treating another as one would like to be treated,\u201d said Renaldo who is the only finalist from Uitenhage in the philanthropic pageant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the contestants were expected to do a fair amount of charity work in the lead-up to the pageant. This was no problem for Renaldo, as he enjoyed fantastic support from his fellow Tigers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had a food drive and also requested for cash donations in aid of charity projects of the Rolemodel Foundation. He did extremely well, thanks to the support of Daniel Pienaar Technical High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI now, for the duration of my year of reign, have to continue supporting the Rolemodel Foundation projects which are in aid of needy persons,\u201d said Renaldo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pageant serves a dual purpose, making a difference in the lives of the contestants and it brings about positive change in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore its slogan is: \u201cInspiring hope in the heart of the community\u201d and that is exactly how Renaldo also feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two major projects that he now has to gain support for are Imfundo Educare and a Laslappie Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI need to collect donations of winter items in the line of beanies, gloves, scarves, warm clothing and food items. These will be handed out to the Imfundo kids,\u201d said Renaldo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the Laslappie Project, I need to collect donations in the form of wool, knitted or crocheted squares and\/or blankets. The idea is to then have knee blankets made that can be handed to senior citizens in the Malabar community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim is for Renaldo to collect enough donations to be handed out to the beneficiaries on June 15th.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His future plan is to study civil engineering at Nelson Mandela University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renaldo wishes to thank parents Elroy Says and Heylee Gee, all at DP as well as his sponsors and coach for their support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For more information or to support Renaldo with donations for the Imfundo Educare and
