Join us for an inspiring program on India presented by Hinesburg resident Allison Cleary, and student members of MOVE, Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts, at Saint Michael’s College. Allison is an Instructor of Media Studies, Journalism and Digital Arts and also is Coordinator of International Service at Saint Michael’s College.
Volunteers involved in this program work with the poorest of the poor in Kolkata, India, where millions are homeless, living in train stations or on the streets, and many more are living below the poverty line. Much of their time is spent volunteering at Mother Teresa's homes, which include orphanages for malnourished children and severely handicapped children, and homes for the destitute and dying of Kolkata. Volunteers also work with organizations that provide homes, education, and sustainability for children taken out of the red-light district in Kolkata, a place where most young girls turn to prostitution merely to survive.

This international service experience helps students understand social justice issues and the role they may have in making change happen in our world. By graduation, nearly 70% of Saint Michael’s students will participate in MOVE in some way, which is a very high participation rate for any organization on campus.
Join us for this free event and meet the dynamic students involved! Donations will be gladly accepted to support the important work that they do.
