Committees:
1. Ending Povertees (Chair: Akhila Iyer)
- Chief aim is the
advertising and selling of T-shirts with awesome/witty/mildly educational
slogans, as a fundraiser for Millennium Promise. Millennium Promise is a
non-profit organization
that supplements the Millennium Development Goals (created by the U.N. and
Columbia's very own Earth Institute Chair Jeffrey Sachs).
- The money raised from the sale of 1 shirt sends a bed net to Africa in
order to prevent the spread of malaria (which typically infects children
bitten by mosquitoes at night).
