Honors Program rakes for Central Asia Institute


Each year, the UND Honors Program chooses a service theme on which to focus its service, educational, and fundraising efforts. This year our theme is Human Rights, and students chose Central Asia Institute for their charity.

The founding of Central Asia Institute by Greg Mortenson was profiled in the New York Times bestseller Three Cups of Tea. The organization builds schools and promotes education for children, and especially girls, in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

To raise money for CAI, Honors students will rake lawns on Oct. 25 and Nov. 8. The charge is a freewill donation to Central Asia Institute. If you want a group of students to take care of your raking, please e-mail samantha.n.braun@und.edu to schedule workers.
