The organizers of Law Games 2010 have graciously agreed to support LIFE.
About LIFE
The Lawyers International Food Enterprise (LIFE) is a foundation organized by the Canadian legal community with the goal of improving the lives of children in Africa. As a foundation, LIFE raises money and supports projects undertaken by the Stephen Lewis Foundation and World Vision Canada. One of LIFE’s goals is to support a million children over the next five (5) years by funding community-based initiatives. To do this, LIFE needs the support of all members of the legal community, including law students!
Your Involvement
The purpose of Law Games is to foster fun and encourage teamwork and collegiality among law students from across Canada. Law Games 2010 has the added purpose of increasing awareness about social issues that affect us all. This makes Law Games the perfect setting to launch LIFE and raise awareness about the foundation in the law student community.
During Law Games 2010, we would like to: 1) Educate the law school community about LIFE, 2) Advocate and raise awareness about issues related to child poverty in Africa, and 3) Raise funds to support LIFE.
To that end, we would like every student participating in Law Games 2010 to contribute $5, $10 or more to LIFE. The team captain of each school will be responsible for collecting donations and the school with the highest amount of donations will win and be recognized at the closing ceremony.
For the cost of a meal, beer, or latté, you can:
o Feed a hungry child and provide life saving nutrition for 15 days
o Provide antibiotics to 8 children
o Purchase a mosquito net
o Purchase a blanket to keep a child warm
o Support schools and literacy initiatives
o Provide soccer balls and other recreational items so children can play
With your assistance, there is so much we can do to improve the lives of children and move towards LIFE’s goal of supporting one million needy children in Africa. Therefore, in the spirit of Law Games 2010, we strongly encourage you and your school team to foster friendly competition between the law schools and positively affect social change by raising money for this important initiative.
