Nourish International

So it looks like I will be founding a club at BU next year! With Nourish International, a student organization that works with hunger and international poverty and development. The idea of the organization is that each school year, students from each chapter can hold events on their campus to raise hunger awareness and raise money towards travelling and completing a real development project in a poor area during the summer. They've done some great things in the past, including a library and greenhouse in Guatemala, chicken coops in Tanzania, and other sustainable development projects in Central/South America, Africa, and South Asia, all working with regional organizations and student members to make a lasting impact. With 15 chapters being added next year and a plan to add up to 30 more soon, it's a dynamic organization and should be a great club.

So, check out their website for more information, here: http://www.nourishinternational.org
If you want to be involved in the club, let me know! I'm still looking for anyone interested in being an officer, and am going to need members to help with lunches, poker tournaments, and other cool and innovative fund raising around BU. Also real work with development and travel opportunities for a good cause and rewarding experience? FYB. fuck yeah, boss.
Stay tuned for updates as the group progresses.
