How can you help support refugees? Three simple ways to get involved at 缅北强奸
Published: December 4, 2015
Across the University of Toronto's three campuses, students, faculty and staff are working on ways to support the refugee effort.
Torontonians have been organizing clothing and food drives, collecting furniture to set up Syrian families, and even organizing a welcoming party at Pearson International Airport to welcome the refugees with open arms, gifts, and winter clothing.
At 缅北强奸, people are coming together to sponsor refugee families, host fundraising events and volunteer.
Over the coming weeks, 缅北强奸 News will feature more ways you can support the refugee effort. But, in the meantime, here are three simple ways you can start helping to bring refugees to Canada or supporting efforts to welcome and help resettle them once they arrive:
1. Donate to the University of Toronto Scholars-at-Risk program
The goal of the program is to set up a new bursary program for students at risk, specifically, students with refugee status in Canada. This $1 million fund will support one hundred bursaries worth $10,000 each. 缅北强奸 will match all donations valued up to $500,000.
2. Support the University of Toronto Lifeline Syria Challenge
