Geog Club 2nd Mtg with W.I.L.L, 02/04 @ 5pm
Geography Club 2nd Meeting of the Quarter!
If you are interested in Thai Cultures, Women's Roles in society and sustainable livelihoods, you don't want to miss this!
Come to this inspirational meeting in which we will learn about the "Women's Initiative for Local Livelihoods Project (W.I.L.L.). This project that focuses in helping out a group of women survivors of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, started in Thailand and it is been continued by a group of UCLA students. They will discuss how the project started and how they want to reach their goal to "ensure the economic sustainability of these handicraft groups in order to promote the overall sustainability of their livelihoods."
Also, they will be selling some of these handmade batiks and tie-dye products.The profits will support these micro-financing activities.
So, Hope to see you this Thursday Feb 4th in Bunche 1221-B at 5pm
We will have snacks!

Dear Geog club members and Geog students,
We met last year about the Geography Dept Review that is going on this
month. The Review Committee will be meeting with the undergraduate
students on Thursday, January 21st at 1pm.
This is very important for the Dept, so we would like to see all of you
here. Please try your best to attend. I will also send out a general
email to ALL undergrads, but we mainly want to see you guys, since you
have such active important roles in this Department.
Please meet us in the Main Office around 12:30-1 so we can go over a few
things, and make sure everyone is on time.
Please let me know who can attend, and put this on your calendars.
Thank you for your help!
