Support WUSC in the Afghanistan Challenge

WUSC at Trent University is excited to announce that we will be supporting a new project this year: the Afghanistan Challenge! The Afghanistan Challenge is a partnership between CARE Canada, MEDA, Rotary International, and the Government of Canada that seeks to challenge Canadians to get involved in the rebuilding of Afghanistan.

Though Afghanistan is progressing slowly with the aid of international organizations, including Canadian humanitarian organizations, it still faces many challenges. Hunger still persists in this war-torn country, the health-care system is severely crippled, women face barriers to education and infrastructure is in need of rehabilitation. However, with the help of the Canadian Government, the Afghanistan Challenge hopes to implement projects that will improve the lives of Afghans.

Many WUSC Local Committees around Canadian university campuses are taking action to support the Challenge. We, at Trent University, also intend to make more people within the Peterborough community more aware of the Challenge. If you are interested in supporting through donations or even finding out more, ensure that you look out for WUSC’s information booths set up throughout the Trent University campus from Monday, 9th November, to Friday, 13th November between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. Proceeds from items on sale go directly towards the Afghanistan Challenge.
