TEAM INFORMATION
Advocacy: "Our Advocacy Program has a vision: Canadian and African governments, institutions, and people working in partnership to unlock hu

development." Reach Rayleigh Lee at [email protected]
Fair Trade: "The FT team increases socially conscious consumers to support small scale farmers/producers and their surrounding community to ultimately accelerate sustainable development. We promote Fair Trade and its principles in the McGill and Montreal community through events and increased accessibility to Fair Trade certified products." Reach Chris Chin and Luna Taguchi at [email protected]
Fair Trade Corner: "The FTC provides affordable and accessible fair trade products to the McGill Community. Our volunteer staff serves fair trade beverages and snacks by donation all week long in the Frank Dawson Adams building." Reach Thomas Bahen at [email protected]
Fundraising: “The Invested Partnerships Team is responsible for raising the funds that keep EWB’s African and Canadian Ventures running. New volunteers are always needed to help run BBQs, rock concerts and everything in between, and new event ideas are always welcome!” Reach Lea Akkari at [email protected]
Global Engineering: “We want to see an engineering undergrad student to leave McGill with more. Through Public Outreach and Curriculum Enhancement, we will connect engineers more with the industry and give them the tools they need to be Global Engineers.” Reach Jamilla Sunderji at [email protected]
Kumvana Fellowship: "The Kumvana Program gives to its Fellows an opportunity to network and foster collaborations with Canadian professionals and extraordinary leaders from other African countries. Additionally, these changemakers will receive new skills, ideas, contacts, motivation and the potential to lead that will help guide their actions toward greater, sector-wide impact." Reach Jihane Kamil at [email protected]
Member Learning: “The purpose of member learning is to keep our McGill members informed on current international development issues as well as EWB's activities, and to create a space for critical thought and personal development. We hold a meeting every other week where we include various perspectives and challenge our beliefs and ideas in a friendly and creative manner.” Reach Lana Samara at [email protected]
Youth Engagement: “We want to influence a change in the current education system so that it may better engage youth, allow them to unlock their full potential and become leaders of social change. This year, we will be collaborating with M.I.N.D. High School to implement a program where we will guide students in the realization of a project that will address the root causes of a social issue they will identify in their community” Reach Jessica Horne at [email protected]
