Human Services Students Raise Nearly $3,000 for Working Poor
Thursday, December 20, 2012
Students in a human services class at Pennsylvania College of Technology hosted an event on campus in November that raised $2,968 for an international cause.
Fourteen students, all enrolled in the course Community and Organizational Change, hosted a Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sale, offering fair-trade handcrafted goods from around the world.
Fair trade enables the artisans to earn a fair wage and provides opportunity for a higher quality of life.
The three-day sale gave students firsthand experience in organizing an event that raises awareness of a need and helps to provide resources to fulfill the need.
