One World Projects
Our goal as a club is to dedicate time and support towards initiatives that enhance the development of our local, and global community.
Our current goal for Spring 2017, is to raise money in support of the Students Around the World Stand #WithMalala: Malala Fund. Our initiative was sparked during our celebration of Women’s History Month. As a club, we watched “I AM MALALA”. We were inspired by Malala’s courage and dedication to human rights. We have made the decision to serve as global citizens. Our club has organized a set plan to raise money in order to donate towards building schools for the millions of girls who are not offered an opportunity to go to school.
