Poverty
Education and Awareness (PEA)
Coordinators: Liz Russo - (earusso@ucdavis.edu)
Malulie Tongprasert - (mtongprasert@ucdavis.edu)
A means for the members of Habitat and those involved
with the fight against poverty to speak out to both the
university and the greater Davis community as a whole.
We will be organizing events for Poverty Awareness Month
(or Week), including guest speakers and documentary
showings. We will also be working with the Outreach
committee to help organize events, i.e., benefit
concerts, in order to incorporate our awareness
initiatives into their events.
In
short, our goal is to reach out to the community to
create a greater awareness of poverty, its proximity to
our own lives and things that individuals can do to make
a difference. We will be greatly working with other
campus and community organizations to achieve this
purpose. |
