Bake sale to benefit African Diaspora Youth Conference

Students will cross the campus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today—Monday, January 12—to sell baked goods to raise funds for the 2015 African Diaspora Youth Conference.

Scheduled for May 7 to 9, 2015, the conference is for secondary school students interested in learning about the African Diaspora and the role it has played in their development. The conference has been a life-changing experience for many attendees. It provides a forum for students to discuss with their peers the concerns they face as youth growing up in a North American society.

Today’s bake sale is the second in a series by the students. All proceeds will go to support the conference. For more information or to make a donation, contact Deb Curran at debbiec@uwindsor.ca.
