INDEVOURS presents Roy Sesana tomorrow!

Hello everyone!

I would like to invite you all to attend INDEVOURS' first fundraising event of the year: a very special talk by Roy Sesana. Roy Sesana is a medicine man of the Gana Bushman from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana. Speaking through a translator in his native language, a part of the Khoisan family of languages most notably recognized by its characteristic clicks, Sesana speaks about land claim issues in the Kalahari between the indigenous populations, fighting to stay on their ancestral lands, and the local government. The talk is taking place at the William G. Davis Centre (DC) 1350 on the University of Waterloo campus tomorrow, Friday, June 3rd, and will commence at 7pm. There is a suggested donation of $10 that will be put towards helping us pay for our field placements.

As I mentioned last week, all 4th year International Development students (there are twenty-six of us) are coming together to organize quite a few fundraisers over the course of this semester in order to raise funds and awareness about our upcoming field placements. I am a part of the event organization committee (we also have a marketing/advertising committee, a donor relations committee, a web and social media committee, and a project reporting committee). Needless to say the past few weeks have been incredibly busy with planning the event and jumping over the hurdles that have presented themselves along the way, but I am quite excited to meet Mr. Sesana and his translator tomorrow and see our hard work come together in what I hope to be a very exciting event.

Stay tuned as we continue to plan other fundraisers over the course of the term. In the meanwhile, you can now make a donation to the INDEVOURS campaign directly! I appreciate all of your support.

Thank you so much and hope to see you tomorrow!
