>>Born out of a shared conviction that future global leaders need 
>>first hand knowledge of the vast injustices that currently plague 
>>our world, a group of Harvard faculty and students have spent the 
>>last year developing an exciting new program that will  provide 
>>undergraduate students an opportunity to serve as volunteers in 
>>overseas humanitarian organizations.  The purpose of CollegeCorps 
>>is to remove obstacles that currently prevent undergraduate 
>>students from becoming involved in health, education and 
>>environmental work in resource-poor countries.   CollegeCorps 
>>international training and volunteer program will make a measurable 
>>contribution to host communities while concurrently instilling in 
>>the young adults who take part in the program a lifelong concern 
>>for those less privileged than themselves. CollegeCorps has already 
>>received endorsements and letters of support from the United 
>>Nations, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the 
>>Harvard University Committee on Human Rights Studies.
>>
>>I am writing to you because I strongly believe that students at MIT 
>>may find this opportunity compelling.  We are currently accepting 
>>applications from Boston area undergraduates only.  Our application 
>>is online at

>>information to your undergraduates.  We are running advertisements
