Mid Winter Miracle Fundraiser for Earthquake relief
Start: 12:01 pm
End: 1:01 pm

This from our friends at Peaceworks...sounds like a good "DFAcorps" activity!
MID-WINTER MIRACLE: On Thursday, December 8 (12-5 p.m., Lowry Mall) a group of campus organizations is sponsoring a carnival called "Mid-Winter Miracle" to benefit victims of the South Asian earthquake. As you probably know, the death toll is over 80,000 and tens of thousands remain homeless. The specific charity being benefited is a very worthy one with local initiative: Dr Arshad Husain's "Village of Hope", where his volunteer team is building a heated tent village in Northern Pakistan for orphaned children. Dr Husain, a child psychiatrist in Columbia, is known for his previous work in counseling traumatized children in war-torn areas. The groups sponsoring Thursday's fundraiser are unusually ecumenical: Muslim Students Organization, Boone Tikkun, Jewish Students Organization, Asian Students Assoc, Alpha Phi Gamma and Concern. They can definitely use help on Thursday: you could bake cookies for a bake sale (due by Thursday noon), help with a game, or sit at a table (Tikkun and other faculty will do the bake sale/fundraising table). Or just stop by to play a game, wish us well and donate if you can! (tax deductible, to International Medical and Educational Trust). More info available at: http://students.missouri.edu/~mso/
