UFU assembly addresses plight of Ugandan children, offers ways to help

Tags:
[AUDIO included] If any Uni students entered Friday's United for Uganda assembly unfamiliar with the plight of Ugandan children, they left better informed not only of the problems but of the ways they can help as well. The assembly was the latest in a series of multicultural events sponsored by the school this year.

UFU lock-in is finally happening this weekend

After much anticipation, United for Uganda's junior/senior lock-in is to take place this Saturday and Sunday at Uni. Originally scheduled for Dec 8-9, the lock-in was postponed due to nasty weather. Starting at 9 p.m. Saturday and continuing through 8 a.m. Sunday, the lock-in will feature many of the same events promised for the December date, and more. It will kick off with a dance DJ-ed by senior UFU officer Marika Iyer until 11:30, with food, performances, and activities to follow.

United for Uganda to host assembly Friday afternoon in Uni Gym

Uni High's own United for Uganda will host an assembly Friday afternoon in Uni Gym to raise awareness about the situation in the East African country. Classes will be shortened for the event. UFU is a student organization dedicated to helping the “invisible children” of northern Uganda. Topics expected to be covered at the assembly include the rehabilitation of child soldiers, the role of nongovernmental organizations, and the use of microfinancing to serve the poor.

UFU lock-in rescheduled for February

After the disappointing postponement of last weekend's United for Uganda junior/senior lock-in due to weather concerns, UFU organizers and the administration have decided to move the event to February. Last year the student group held two lock-ins and raised nearly $4,000 to help former child soldiers in Uganda. Check inside for more about the upcoming fundraiser.
