What One Person Can Do
by The Rev Mike Kinman
Build an igloo for the MDGs?
Students found somewhere cooler than a bar or party to hang out in on Saturday night: an igloo. When Patrick Fennig, a Weinberg junior, checked on the igloo he made and slept in the night before, he found nine students inside. "I was really excited last night when I came in and people were sitting and having a good conversation," Fennig said. "It's a good gathering place." Fennig said he created the igloo to raise money and awareness for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, which aim to reduce world poverty by 2015. The money will go to the Canterbury Northwestern Episcopal Campus Ministry to be donated toward the development goals. Fennig said he raised about $90 but that highlighting the U.N. goals is more important. "A lot of people don't know what the Millennium Goals are," Fennig said. "It's letting people know that there are people that are dedicated to them, and they can be dedicated as well." |
