Support for Haiti

Dear UWM Community,

The earthquake disaster in Haiti is clearly of great concern to many individuals here on the UWM campus, considering what I have heard since it happened. I share that concern and know that faculty, staff and students will find ways to support relief efforts with campus events in the days ahead.

In the meantime, I would like to share information about how you can make a difference today.

InterAction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations focused on the world’s poor and most vulnerable people, is maintaining a Haiti earthquake page:

http://www.interaction.org/crisis-list/earthquake-haiti

It contains information about the current action being taken by dozens of relief agencies and how you can donate to these agencies. I encourage you to join me and find a way to help at this crucial time.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Carlos E. Santiago
Chancellor

Happy Holidays!

A call for volunteers

Here is a request from the Next Door Foundation:

The Books for Kids program at Next Door Foundation is looking for some great individuals and groups to come in and volunteer this winter and spring! We have several wonderful opportunities depending on the interest of your student group.

Read with Me: On Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 -4:00pm and Wednesday mornings from 9-11:30am volunteers come and read books to small groups (1-3) of 2-5 year olds from the Next Door Foundation. This is a wonderful opportunity for an individual or group. We need volunteers starting in February.

Book Sorting: We need individuals or groups to come in Monday through Thursday to help us clean, sort, and shelve the books that are donated to the giving library so that they can be distributed to the children in the community.

Book Drive: We are always looking for groups or individuals to have a book drive for new or gently used children’s books for the giving library. Information on how to do this is included on our website. Here is the link.

Thank you!
