Change for Haiti Update!

At press time, it appears that the Change for Haiti fundraiser has raised about $700 (just from the change jars and the Grocery Bingo for Haiti night) for Water Missions International! The group is ecstatic, and is just waiting to complete their bottle drive and for some other potential donations. Thanks to all who have helped thus far!

UE students organize Change for Haiti Fundraiser

A small group of very dedicated UE residents (Patric Brophy, Jay Smith, and Darren Brown) have taken on the mission to fundraise for the Haiti relief efforts. They have chosen Water Missions International as the organization to which the funds will be donated.

WMI is solely dedicated to bringing clean and safe water to developing countries and disaster-struck areas. The creators of the Change for Haiti project hope to make a substantial donation to this cause, especially considering those who are dehydrated after a surgery or after being trapped in rubble for days.

Please keep an eye out for the Change for Haiti fliers and change jars around campus and the town of Gorham (from January 24-31) and help us with the effort. Also, please come to the Grocery Bingo Night on Wednesday the 27 in the Student Center as the proceeds will also be donated to the Change for Haiti program.

Culture Shares

Some International Students enjoying tea and conversation after the British Culture Share.

Over the past semester, we have been lucky enough to have many of our International Students share their cultures. Many of the presenters cooked delicious food for the group, and we are thankful for their generosity in preparing their dishes (they often spent most of the day cooking!)

For the next semester, the ILLC staff have decided to continue the Culture Shares but with a new twist. Please keep a lookout for some differences in presentations!
