UUC Friends of El Porvenir is planning a program of activities to educate adults and children about the need for clean water and sanitation around the world, and to support the work of El Porvenir in meeting these needs in rural Nicaragua.  

We welcome new people interested in joining us at our next meeting, Thursday, September 16, at 7:30 pm.  For information contact: Judy Oerkvitz or Judy Bedell. We are also recruiting people for an intergenerational Volunteer Work Brigade to go to Nicaragua in February 2011. Watch for information in future Gateway newsletters.

University Unitarian will host a workshop on the human right to water
at 10 am Saturday, September 25, in Nathan Johnson Hall. The workshop will be led by Patricia Jones, Environmental Justice Program Manager at the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC). Refreshments and munchies will be served.

Recruiting Volunteers for Work Brigade to Nicaragua

 

The UUC Friends of UUSC will hold an open meeting in Bridges after the second service ends, Sunday, October 3.  As a national organization, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee works around the world to further social justice in terms of values that are generally held by members of our denomination.  
The Service Committee depends greatly on members of local denominations to inform church members, help raise memberships, and foster local justice efforts that tie into its work.  If you have questions before the meeting, contact Pete Guest.
