Rohingya Crisis Fundraiser

Hey Everyone!!!
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!
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*
Thank you guys!!!
