I am in the process of starting a City Initiatives (Food for the Hungry) affiliated student group on Campus by name of the title of this post. Taking a slightly different approach towards it, and choosing not to do the standard set up a booth and fight for passing students attention. There are already some 500 student groups, covering just about everything, the last thing the campus needs is another student group. Rather we are starting a group to give us an official platform to then serve, empower, connect, and collaborate with other student groups, departments, professors, etc on and around campus that are social justice and poverty related.
I'm excited about this concept, scaling through networks and putting the other groups first. Already it has proven a very effective model, and out of this the campus ONE (www.one.org) group's plan of a booth grew to encompass all of Hayden Lawn, and birthed a huge World AIDS day event on Dec. 1st, with live music an evening on the lawn (hot-coco and blankets style) screaning of the documentary "A closer Walk," and an audience interactive Q&A session with AIDS experts to include an HIV positive african woman. Really excited! You're all welcome to join us. I'll post a copy of the flier when we finish it later this week.
