This week, MSA and STAND will be hosting a fundraiser and awareness campaign for the Rohingya Crisis.

The Rohingya are victims of a MODERN DAY GENOCIDE. The Myanmar military is ethnically cleansing them and persecuting them while the government continues to deny it. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were forced to leave and countless others have been through horrific cruelties such as trafficking, being killed and raped.

These refugees need immediate aid, so come by the table in the center of the cafeteria to buy a ribbon for $2, a button (coming soon), A HENNA DESIGN, or just learn more about the crisis! Encourage your friends to come through!

More info at: http://irusa.org/myanmar/

Each ribbon you buy will be 5 POINTS for a MAX OF 10 POINTS.

(You must write you’re in H.O.P.E.)

*proceeds go to aid services for refugees in camps*

LET'S BUILD A HOUSE!!

Habitat for Humanity New York City is an organization that transforms lives by building quality homes with families in need and by uniting all New Yorkers around the cause of affordable housing.

In order to show support for what they do, H.O.P.E. will help raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

Unlike our past fundraisers, this time we will be BUILDING a house, metaphorically of course!

During 9th, 10th and 11th period tomorrow, we will be accepting donations outside of room 7C1. For every $1 that you donate, you will receive a slip of colored paper that represents the bricks used to build houses. You can write your names on these slips. The slips of paper will then be glued onto a sheet of paper to create a house. By the end of the day, we will be able to see a house built by the help of everyone who donated. In a way, we will be building our own house just like how Habitat for Humanity builds their houses, one brick at a time.

Maximum points is 10, 5 points per dollar donated, but the good news doesn't stop just yet, if you donate $2 you will receive not only an additional piece of paper where you can write your name on it, you will also receive a FREE piece of candy, yup that's right FREE!! Wooo Hooo

THANK YOU :)
