Benefit concern this week will help with MVP goals

TO THE EDITOR:

The Millennium Village Project is a development strategy focused on alleviating extreme poverty in Africa.

UNC’s chapter has pledged to raise $1.5 million in support of the village in Sauri, Kenya.

In collaboration with other campus organizations, MVP has organized the annual Cheza Kwa Tumaini benefit concert.

Performances will include Bhangra Elite, Inversions, Cadence, Eek Taal, the Walk-Ons, ModernExtensions, Psalm 100 and Que Rico.

There will also be a chance to win awesome raffle prizes including eight basketball tickets, cash and gift certificates.

The concert will be held at 8 p.m. at Memorial Hall, and tickets can be purchased for $6 in the Pit and at the Memorial Hall Box Office.

As the students at this University gain increasingly more opportunities to study and travel around the world, we feel as though this week is a valuable occasion to open the discussion about the future of our global society.
