7 January 2005Caltech Tsunami Relief EffortOver the past few days, many student groups at Caltech have come together and cobbled up an ad-hoc umbrella group called the Caltech Tsunami Relief Effort. This group comprises of members from the OASIS (Organization of Associated Students of the Indian Subcontinent), Caltech Y, ISP (International Student Programs), Health Education, Caltech Dems, Building Bridges, Caltech Christian Fellowship and Graphic Arts and Mailing Services. Over the week, three table events were held and the group managed to collect approximately $1900 in addition to distributing flyers and hosting posters/banners and increasing general visibility of the event around the Caltech campus. In addition, a few more table events are slated for the next couple of weeks. The group is co-ordinating with the US Geological Survey which is giving a talk on the tsunami and its aftermath the coming Wednesday. The effort will be capped by a cultural event at the Beckman Auditorium on the 23rd of January that will feature a number of dancers from South Asia. |
