Educate Canada!

Educate Canada's first year was a success. In all, over $9000 was raised in 2007 through bake sales, club nights, donations, and a variety of other functions. While many of Educate's key members graduated, we are looking to expand. Activities Night is Educate's first chance to get together and welcome new members, and it will take place on the 19th of September from 4pm to 9pm in the SSMU Building.
Educate Canada in 2007
We cannot be happier with Educate Canada's success in 2007. Not only was our fundraising a success but one of Educate's first high school graduates, Neppo, moved to Canada and was able to speak to our club and other McGill students. He is a perfect example of what Educate is achieving in Uganda and was an inspiration to do even more in 2007.
At Educate club nights at Upper Club we raised over $2000. Another $2000 was raised with the help of our amazing bake sale team whose pictures you can see on our website. We would also like to thank all of our private donors who made the bulk of the rest of our donations.
Educate Canada in 2007-2008
In the upcoming year we hope to expand Educate! Canada. We would like to solidify our links with our U.S. partner organization and become an international charity. This year not only are we funding individual students but we are using some of our money to help build a school that, for the time being, will hold 150 students.
Educate Canada has many ideas for 2007-2008 and we would love to share them with members, new and old. For more information on Educate Canada email us at “educatecanada AT hotmail DOT com”.
