ONE WORLD WEEK

One World Charity 2012Action against Hunger

This year One World Week will focus on raising money for Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation committed to saving the lives of malnourished children while providing communities with sustainable access to safe water and long-term solutions to hunger. Some examples of their work include the responses to the Haiti earthquake, those affected by the Afghanistan war, and the escalating crisis in East Africa.

Action Against Hunger is a nominated charity by Brunel RAG, standing for “Raising and Giving” which simply means raising money and then giving the money raised to charity. RAG is not only raising money within the university, it incorporates the general public, bringing together the students and the rest of the community for a good cause.

RAG is a long, time honoured tradition in almost all universities around the country and Brunel is no different! RAG has been running for years and has raised valuable money for different charities all over the world.

For more details and to see our latest fundraising activities and events, please visit their website - brunelstudents.com/rag.
