Charity Project Videos: Pencils for Kids / War Child / Planeterra / Ryan's Well / Ubuntu Edmonton
Certain 490G classes at the University of Victoria regularly do a charity project. The purpose of this project is to involve students in a complex, multi-stage class project which has a concrete goal of helping those less fortunate while requiring students to use English in an authentic context involving all the language skills – reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
Throughout the course of the project, students do research on various charities before selecting one organization to support. Students prepare short presentations and visit all the classes in the English Language Program at the University of Victoria in order to publicize the event. Finally, a bake sale is held at various locations on campus and the money collected is donated to the designated charity.

We encourage all visitors to this site to support the charity of their choice in order to help make the world a better place.
I have always held firmly to the thought
that each one of us
can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
