Always want to work on SOMETHING meaningful yet don't know where to find it?

*Here is your chance!*

*Global Poverty Initiative* is partnering with *Somaly Mam Foundation* (

Cambodia.

Various projects include

   - *Education*: set up accounting and english curricula and communication
   platform to teach the girls living in shelters
   - *Energy & Technology*: solar panels and internet installation  for the
   shelters where the girls are housed
   - *Social Entrepreneurship*: set up a sustainable scarf-weaving business
   to support the girls as well as to raise awareness about sex victims. *More
   than 60K is already committed to the project and the business is endorsed by
   Marie Clare and Body Shop!*

To learn more, come to our info session at *7pm on Tuesday, February 10th
