Benefit: Giving Up 1/2 for AIDS Orphans in Mozambique

What if instead of buying your usual latte every morning, you spent ½ on a regular cup of coffee and donated the rest to a child orphaned by AIDS in Africa? Could you make a significant difference with just 1/2 of a small luxury you take for granted? Join us for fundraiser for Reencontro, a Mozambique-based NGO devoted to bettering the lives of thousands of children orphaned by AIDS. In conjunction with "The House is Small But the Welcome is Big" photography exhibit in Coburn Gallery. African food and student entertainment provided, $5 suggested donation. All proceeds will go to Reencontro, a Mozambique-based NGO providing life-saving support to children orphaned by AIDS. Reencontro, meaning "reunion", is a non-profit organization created in 1998 by a group of women of good-will that decided to join efforts and support the many children left without their parents because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Sponsored by C.C. Students for Global Health and the Robert and Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust.

Location: Coburn Gallery, main floor of Worner Campus Center, 902 N. Cascade Ave. (map)
