This Weekend: Art Walk!

Head to downtown Sarnia this weekend to check out Art Walk!

You'll be able to support the Lambton College students' fundraising efforts for Haiti by purchasing something from their display:

Handmade Haitian art -- the items have been purchased from Haitian artists, and further profits
are directed to future student awareness trips.

You can also visit "The Gift Box," an interactive display that aims to teach participants about the realities of human trafficking. The display, sponsored by the Sarnia-Lambton Committee Against the Trafficking of Women and Children, was built by students at the Ontario College of Art and Design.

"The Gift Box" will be set up outside of Sarnia's city hall until June 7.

Art Walk runs from Friday, June 3 until Sunday, June 5. Admission is free. Visit their website to learn more: http://www.sarniaartwalk.com/

Lambton College students in Haiti

Each spring, Lambton College students visit Haiti: students from Ruth Geurts' International Community Development course visit Port au Prince, and students from our BScN program visit Cap Hatien. They donate the supplies they bring with them and their time while they're there, but their primary goals are to listen and learn. 

You can learn more about their projects and intentions here. 

This year's Lambton College BScN students in Haiti.

The International Community Development course runs again in September. If you'd like the chance to be part of this life-changing trip, visit lambtoncollege.ca

Lambton College students visit Haiti

Every year, Ruth Geurts leads two groups of Lambton College students to Haiti. Nursing students and students enrolled in the International Community Development course visit Haiti for two different purposes--the first to listen and learn, the second to serve. 

If you'd like to learn more about what happens in Haiti--how the students prepare, what they do while they're there, what they take away with them--please consider joining us on Monday, June 8. We'll hear from students about their experiences, and we'll have the chance to ask questions. We will meet in L208 at 10:30 am. 

Feel free to email me (erica.kelly@lambtoncollege.ca) if you'd like to know more!
