Remember some time ago when we announced that WUSC at Trent University was taking on the Afghanistan Challenge as a new project for 2009? Of course you do! Well, we are here to tell you than the outcome of the project was a far greater success than originally expected! Not only was WUSC at Trent University able to reach its fundraising goal, it was also able to surpass it thanks to the support of other on-campus partner organizations and the generous donations of persons within the Trent University community. To date, the campaign has raised over $5,000 CAD, all of which will be matched by the Canadian Government and contributed towards the vocational training of widows in Afghanistan. You can read the news article on the Trent University website.
Special thanks are extended to our members (who volunteered their time and energy into this project), the TCSA, the TMSA, the MESA, the TUPS, New Canadian Centre, OPIRG, Trent Active Minds, Hana Mohamed and those who donated pashminas.
Although the campaign through which the Canadian Government matches the donated funds has ended, WUSC will continue to collect any further donations in support of the ongoing work within Afghanistan.
