LILjobs

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.

Laurentian University was a partnering university in 2007. During that year, the Laurentian team raised over $3000 to our overall national total. 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 campers for Laurentian

The campers play a crucial role in the Live-in for Literacy event, as you are the people who will move into the library and live there for seven days, from January 23rd to January 30th, 2010. You will eat most of your meals in the library, and will spend the night sleeping the library lobby. You will be responsible for promoting the Live-in for Literacy (LiL) event and generating considerable amount of awareness for the DREAM campaign throughout the year on the Laurentian campus. On the seven days of the Live-in event, you will also promote DREAM’s cause in the library and generate donations. Classes will not necessarily be missed, as other team members can fill in for you during your class and/or lab time.
