About The Event
Want to be part of a fundraising effort to support talented refugee students as part of the UWC Refugee Initiative?
We are once again holding the UWC Refugee Initiative Benefit Gala, which was highly successful last year, on November 15. The goal of the initiative is to educate the next generation of leaders from among the most marginalized groups of today’s world, who in turn will become role models for the millions of young refugees aspiring to make a difference. Funds raised will support talented refugee students.
For this year's program, we have secured Vartan Gregorian, Co-founder of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative (who is also a funder of UWC) and President of the Carnegie Corporation, as our honoree for the evening. We wil also have very inspiring alumni speakers such as James Bicamumpaka (WK), Dr Grace Wanjiku a Carnegie African Diaspora fellow (LPC) and Eleanor Beaton (USA) as our Emcee.
