SID Members in ACTION!

As a member of SID club, you are expected to be an active participant that is willing to go above and beyond the simple role of a "member." We want you to be involved in the work and the efforts we make towards helping others and fundraising at events. Here are photos of SID club members participating in service projects, meetings, and Food Fest. Currently, we are preparing for Fall 2009 Food Fest as well--and this is our time to shine and raise as much money as possible for our next big project! Please, join us!

BYU-Hawaii Sierra Leone Project

SID recently raised money to build a well in Africa. This project was focused on clean water and sanitation. Students for International Development's efforts to support this cause was able to raise $686.82, when our fundraising goal was $500.00. The event took place February 15th at BYU-Hawaii Little Circle. A description of the event and its proceeds is as follows:Adopt a Village

Adopt a Village initiates and supports community development for marginalized children and their families by meeting their basic human needs. Adopt a Village began with the goal of helping Sri Lankan tsunami victims with long-term relief and rebuilding efforts. The campaign has since evolved into an effective tool for helping communities in need. The program delivers holistic community development to children and their families in Kenya, Sierra Leone, rural China, and Sri Lanka. Supported by the Oprah’s Angel Network, and people like you, Adopt a Village services rural areas, with an emphasis on providing education to children where there is a high incidence of child poverty and child labour.

They say children are our future, and we believe the time has come!
