DREAM is a student led University club that started at Queen’s University 4 years ago and have expanded into a national event for the past two years. DREAM raises money to build schools and libraries in developing countries. Since 2005, we have raised $70,000 to build 13 libraries in Nepal and India, and a computer lab in Cambodia.

Concordia University has been a partnering university since 2008. Last year, the Concordia team raised over $300 to our overall national total despite the major challenge of not able to collect donations inside the Library. This year, our national goal is to raise $25,000 to build one library and publish 10,000 local language books in India.

You can help us by joining our team as the Internal Operations Coordinator for Concordia
