Great strides for the Uta Community Center
Posted by Sarah Whitney, Fellow
Echoing the feelings of our fellow Fellows, Claire and I are amazed and excited that June is just around the corner. We cannot wait to get to South Africa to continue to develop the community center’s potential and begin construction with our local partners.
Last week, SMRC received news of remarkable progress for the Uta Community Center. The project was generously awarded a $13,000 grant from the Oak Foundation. Special thanks must be given to Oak’s president, Kathleen Cravero-Kristoffersson, for her support of our work in South Africa.
This is an exciting time for the Uta Community Center. We are getting closer and closer to reaching our fundraising goal everyday. In the spirit of generosity and support shown by the Oak Foundation, consider making a donation to the project today at www.studentmovementusa.org/center. And if you are in the DC area, don’t forget to join us for dinner and drinks at Madam’s Organ on April 2nd between 5 and 8 pm!
