N.Y. Exhibition

The fundraiser hosted by Givology was in efforts to help fund the Circle of Peace School, one of its partners, and turned out to be quite a successful event. Titled “What would you buy for $50?”. Displayed pictures were of students who attend the school in Kampala, Uganda. Another entire wall were pictures of children who live in the nearby village, who cannot afford to attend school. The idea behind the exhibition was to inform people of the needs of these students who cannot afford to recieve even elementary education. Members of the Givology team and videographer JiaS. traveled to the school this past December and asked each student what they buy for $50, and asked them to draw it on a piece of paper. The givology team took pictures of each student and included a detailed tag of information with his or her name, a short biography and answer to the question. Each picture was sold for a donated price of $50. The exhibition also displayed the students’ artwork, which was also sold for the same amount. The following pictures are from the opening weekend, which took place in NYC, and were taken by founder and former president Eunice Kim, who attended the event. Also, the chapter’s advisor Joanita Senoga was present as one of the main speakers. Other supportors from Richmond such as Task Force member Iria Jones from Richmond attended as well.
