We are in communication with various local and Haitian organizations, and continuing to develop each of these relationships.
When we come back from break, we will focus on what specifically we plan to get out of and contribute to our partner organizations.
There is a possible event we could hold next fall in collaboration with Triad Ladder of Hope and a documentary entitles Nefarius: Merchant of Souls. We could host the documentary as well as have the woman as a speaker. We could also collect donations, get the event on the cultural calendar, and use GST classes to promote the event. The trailer seemed very eye-opening and compelling.
We MAY be able to find a way to organize a university trip to Haiti before the travel advisory is listed.
A possible idea: putting together something like the ’14’s week of events that pulls together many different aspects of human trafficking. This would fit better in the fall.
Freshmen Induction is Thursday, April 11th, 5:00-6:30pm.
We also have a website on the way, and are investigating the idea of getting an official elon.edu email for our class.
slaveryfootprint.org: an eye-opening estimate of how many slaves support YOU.
We could organize another debate, similar to the presidential debate from last semester, revolving around gun control. The event would be available for both Elon students and the surrounding community. It would encourage Periclean civic engagement, but if we decide to take this project on, we need to recognize that it will require a lot of work and commit to putting forth this effort. Student will apply to participate in the debate, and we would review the applications as a class.
We should plan an event in the second half of the semester to bring everyone back in. Perhaps we could revisit the idea of visiting the Warner household? Grilling on a warm day?
