WSO Announcements http://wso.williams.edu/announce/show/12754 Come sleep out on Paresky Lawn this Monday, Nov 23rd to support clean energy! By refusing to sleep in your dirty-energy powered dorm you will be joining a statewide campaign to push Massachusetts to become a leader in sustainability and pass a bill that will repower the state with 100% clean energy by the year 2020. Join us Monday night to learn more about this campaign, show your commitment to clean energy, and raise awareness around campus. We know you all have a lot of work, but this is a great opportunity for activism, and all you have to do is sleep! We will be checking in at 10:00 PM on Paresky lawn to get set up, sign petitions and make phone calls to Gov. Patrick. We will supply the tents, but be sure to bring a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and lots of warm layers. Hope to see you there!

Halitzer Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:53:00 -0500 http://wso.williams.edu/announce/show/12644 My colleague and I were fortunate enough to have our Winter Study: Examining Women’s Education in Ethiopia approved for this coming January. In this month, we will serve as interns for two major Non-profit Organizations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Ethiopia Reads and Ethiopian Education Foundation (EEF). Our work entails reading to children in a community center and teaching English at a private school. EEF aims to provide scholarships for low- income youth, sending them to some of the best secondary schools in the country. One of our tasks is to raise $2700 for the building of housing for the aforementioned female scholarship-recipients. We are looking for contributions to reach our goal by the beginning of Winter Study. Any donation is significant and is greatly appreciated. Donations can be made electronically through our website: http://www.bmycharity.com/V2/ephs4eef If you have any questions, please feel free to email us (ajs4@williams.edu or rmr1@williams.edu) You will also find additional information on the website. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Aubree Stephens and Raneia Ramadan Aubree J.
