Students – Community Partners Details




COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
WUSC Student Refugee Program at the University of Ottawa
Description:
A WUSC local committee is a campus-based group of students who share WUSC's belief in the power of education to change the world. Currently there are more than 80 WUSC local committees or campuses which are involved in Student Refugee Program across Canada. At University of Ottawa, we collaborate with the SFUO, the administration of the University of Ottawa and WUSC headquarters in processes to receive and help sponsored refugee students to adapt to their studies and their new environment. We also facilitate their integration into the Canadian society. In August 2010 we received two students, one from Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya and the other from Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi. This year we have three students, a girl from Malawi and two boys from Kenya. We have an executive committee and active memberships. Every member in the local committee is valued and we work as a team to sponsor refugee students every year.
