Do you buildOn?

 ~ BuildOn at NYU ~

As a student at NYU, you are one of the lucky literate individuals with access to education.  The BuildOn group at NYU shares the goal of the organization to bring literacy to the 1.2 billion people around the world who do not share that access.

"buildOn's mission is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education"

Yesterday, a member of BuildOn NYU shared their mission during the International Student Coffee Hour and encouraged international to get involved!  This year's goal is to help establish a school in Nepal by fundraising in the city.
