Nourish International

Please direct questions about this notice to jessweim@indiana.edu.

Are you interested in helping to solve global poverty? Nourish International is a brand new organization on the IU campus. We are all about taking baby steps that can make a difference in a big way. We will be starting small businesses on campus, called "ventures", that will raise money for an organization in a third world country. As a chapter, we decide which organization in which country we are most passionate about. We hope to be able to raise the money to go overseas and actually see our hard work contributing to a great cause. The Nourish International call-out meeting will be held Monday, September 10th at 7:00 in Ballantine Hall, Rm 015. If you feel compelled to make a difference, we hope to see you there! We are excited to hear everyone's ideas for this new organization.
