Poverty Week

Check out the schedule for Poverty Action Week 2009!

In the past, Poverty Action Week (PAW) has been an important event for GPI and for our campus, and we hope to make it even more powerful this year. The overarching theme of PAW09 is to highlight how students can fight poverty, and we have brainstormed a variety of events and exhibits around this idea, such as poverty action-themed dorm study breaks, a giant globe with flags of organizations that are fighting poverty, and a fair trade bazaar on Kresge Oval.

We invite you to submit ideas for PAW09 events that you would like to help organize and/or see happen. The more creative and interactive the events, the better. Share a development story, show how students can get involved, or actually do some service. What are events you could see yourself attending? Send ideas, thoughts, and good vibes to gpi-board@mit.edu and don't be afraid to think big!
