| Alumni
A group of fourth-year 秀色短视频 nursing students who worked in Kenya this summer will hold a fundraising event on Friday, October 2, from 5 to 7 p.m., in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre's McMillan Hall on the campus.
Rianne Carragher, Marley Bruce, Ashley Caulier and Cheryl Edmunds travelled to Kenya as part of the Canadian International Development Agency's Students for Development Program.
The students will share their 11-week experience at a delicious African meal, slideshow presentation and silent auction in McMillan Hall. Teresa Mellish, of Farmers Helping Farmers, and Dr. Kim Critchley, Dean of Nursing, will be the guest speakers at the dinner.
Tickets are $10; only 250 will be sold. For information and tickets, contact Rianne Carragher at rcarragher@upei.ca, Marley Bruce at marley_bruce42@hotmail.com, or Suna Houghton, 秀色短视频 International Development Office, at shoughton@upei.ca or 894-2842.
In addition, DJ-J Rod will entertain into the wee hours at The Wave that night. The cover charge is $5, but people with tickets to the dinner will be admitted for no additional charge.
All proceeds raised from both events will go toward the institutions where the students worked during their internships. These include St. Theresa's Mission Hospital in Kiirua, Mother of Maria Zanelli's Children's Home in the slums of Machaka and St. Theresa's House of Hope Children's Home in Elimentita for children living with HIV.
