Swap for Supplies

Posting Date(s)

UPEI 103 students and University 303 students will be taking on a co-curricular project. It will be held on Tuesday, November 8 and Wednesday, November 9, 10:00-1:00 pm in W.A. Murphy Student Centre. The students are setting up a "Swap for Supplies" yard-sale event to support second-year engineering students who are travelling to Mikinduri, Kenya in February to help support communities alongside the "Children of Hope" organization. Supplies needed include: pens, pencils, flashlights, band-aids, sealed pain medication (Tylenol, Aspirin, etc), and toothbrushes. Clothing donations will also be accepted. Individuals who bring in supplies will have the opportunity to swap their supplies for various gently-used items including books, clothing, decorations, etc. Don't have these supplies? Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated. There will also be a raffle to win some UPEI goodies!
