As the members of WUSC at Trent University prepare to say farewell to another awesome academic year for WUSC, we thought that we would have one last activity. Here is your chance to help save the environment and fund literacy programs worldwide.
Do you have textbooks that you no longer have use for? Why not donate them to someone who will use them? WUSC at Trent University will be running a ‘Better World Books’ book drive for textbooks from Monday, April 19th, to Friday, April 30th!
By donating your textbooks, you will be supporting WUSC at Trent University and the ‘Better World Books’ non-profit organization, which promotes international literacy initiatives. If you have any books that you would like to donate, please drop them off at the T.I.P. Office on weekdays from 9am–12pm and 1pm–4pm. Invite your friends to join the Facebook group – “A Book Drive for a Better World!” and show your support for a great cause.
Assist Haiti relief through monetary donations

The news about the devastating earthquake in Haiti that took place on the evening of Tuesday, January 12th, 2010, in the region near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, has been flooding media headlines for the past few days. This unfortunate tragedy, which has claimed the lives of countless individuals, is a sad reality for everyone. In response, many countries in the immediate region and around the world have volunteered and donated a tremendous amount of resources focused on rescue efforts. While some of us may not be traveling to Haiti to assist the relief effort, we can still assist financially. You have probably encountered a variety of ways in which you can send a donation to help. If you have not already heard, however, the CECI has also established an Emergency Haiti Campaign. It is just another means through which your contribution can go towards providing aid to this nation.
This update is intended for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect a preference by WUSC at Trent University or WUSC in general in these relief efforts. You are free to donate to any organization of your choice and are encouraged to first consider those within your community or with whom you are most familiar. Please also continue to pray for the families who have lost loved ones.
