COSMOS WALK-4-WATER

Imagine walking 4 hours for water every day of your life. Water that can make you sick. Water that gives your children diarrhoea, or typhoid, or cholera. Unfortunately, women and children in Malawi don’t have to imagine it. That’s just reality.
COSMOS and ADRA Malawi invite all College students and community members to participate in a fundraiser called WALK-4-WATER. It is a great way of getting fit, making friends and taking a little time out before exams. All funds raised will be used for the ADRA Malawi Krystle Clear Water Project, which provides wells in villages with serious water shortages.
Promotions will be posted next week all over campus, so stay tuned for more details!

PACT (Change starts with your underwear)

PACT manufactures premium organic cotton underwear designed by Yves Behar. Shipped in a compostable envelope, each pair is inspired by a social or environmental cause. Described as “artwork for your arse”, the pattern of the pair you select is colourfully coordinated to announce (to the few and the privileged) which cause you’re supporting. 10% of each sale is donated to one of the three non-profits that PACT currently supports.
Whether you are wearing bikini or boxer, they are all 95% organic cotton, 5% elastane and boast eco-friendly inks. Plus pairs are packed in a reusable fabric bag, and even the colourful bright, green shipping bag is 100% compostable. Need I say more?
