Thank you for your generous support of Haiti! 

Due to the kindness and hard work of members of our community, donations and clothing for Haiti as well as support services for Haitian students at Concordia have helped ease the pain of this terrible tragedy.

This week, in time for the Canadian government commitment to double donations, a cheque for $11 000.42 was sent to OXFAM Québec on behalf of those who held bake sales, concerts, film viewings, etc. over the past few weeks.

Other NGOs have also benefited from contributions from various events (such as $5 831 to Médecins sans frontières, $200 to L’Arche, $835 to UNICEF Québec… as well as many others) and there are still plans for more fund-raising activities.

The Dean of Students would like to take this opportunity to thank the following departments and individuals (and to offer apologies to those inadvertently omitted from this list):

• Groups and individuals who organized fund-raisers: Bangladeshi Students Association, Centre for the Arts in Human Development, Cinema Politica, Chabad, C. Hedrich/D. Pullen, Exercise Science and Athletic Therapy, Faculty of Arts and Science, Fillipino Students Association, JMSB, Latin American Students Organization, Muslim Students Association / Thaqalayn Muslim Association, People’s Potato, Queer Concordia, School of Extended Learning, Team Soraya, Team Kwaku, Team Deborah, UNICEF and many more we don’t know of!
