Vancouver Make Poverty History volunteers

Our night one crew of volunteers in Vancouver was one of the coolest groups of people we have worked with yet.

They are all undergrad engineering students at the University of British Columbia - which meant that me and my staff immediately asked them to put together some Ikea stools and boxes we had bought for our tables that we had been afraid to assemble! In record time, they had everything put together (take that Ikea!) and still had enough energy to help us sign up over 1900 people for the Make Poverty History Campaign.

They are a campus based branch of the Make Poverty History campaign and do all sorts of outreach on campus and in their community. It's awesome to meet and work with such a great group of people, and we are hoping to work with them again in the near future!

Oh no no no...night one volunteers were actually from Simon Fraser University, and not all of us were engineering students!
