Holiday Party
Each year the Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics and CCB have a Holiday party which is held at various locations. This year our Holiday Party was held in the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center.
Holiday Party 2007 - Farrell Learning and Teaching Center
Holiday Party 2006 - Farrell Learning and Teaching Center
Holiday Party 2005 - EPNEC Center
This year at holiday time, we were gifted with money to invest in underdeveloped countries through the Kiva organization. Kiva.org is a non-profit that allows you to make a small 0% loan to low income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). Individuals can help provide affordable working capital for the poor -- money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc. -- and empower them to earn their way out of poverty.
We have invested in five individuals and four groups. These individuals and/or groups reside in Uganda, Cambodia, Bolivia, Lebanon, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. The types of industries these entrepreneurs are involved range from construction, weaving, selling goods, tailoring to animal sales and charcoal sales. We are excited to be able to be a part of this organization.
