Taken from the 5 Days for the Homeless website:
"Five Days for the Homeless is a charity campaign founded in 2005 by students from the School of Business at the University of Alberta. It is a 5 day campaign in which university students live "homeless" on their campus to raise money and awareness for a local charity."
The University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management is participating for the first time, this year, in the 5 Days for the Homeless 2011 campaign. Four participants, Josée Archambault, Dmitry Berlin, Sarah Clayton, and Steve Nyenkamp, all students from Telfer, will be living "homeless" for five days to raise money for Operation Come Home.
During the five days, the participants must:
1. Remain on campus from March 13-18
2. Have no disposable income
3. Have no access to food or drinks
4. Have a pillow and blanket
5. Have no access to showers
6. Sleep outside on campus
7. Attend all of their regular classes and complete all of their academic responsibilities
Please support these four brave Telfer students, by donating what you can, on the 5days.ca website, here.
