All are encouraged to participate in a month-long charity clothing drive. UAB BRI is holding a holiday season clothing drive for the benefit of the less fortunate residents of the Birmingham area. We are accepting new and used clothes and linens.
At the end of the drive, UAB BRI will declare which UAB Learning Community donated the most items!
DRIVE RUNS THROUGH JANUARY 6th, 2017!
The Saint Louis University BRI chapter is proud to screen Poverty, Inc. to students and faculty. It is a bold look at “the business of doing good.” Please join us for refreshments and lively discussion following the film.
From the film’s website:
“The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change.
Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore.”
