The Senior Class of 2008 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chose Carolina for Kibera as the Senior Campaign for Carolina's endorsed class gift. Go here to read the Daily Tar Heel report.
Many seniors are supportive and excited about the choice. "I think it's a good thing to leave a legacy behind," senior Bola Omitoogun said. "The fact they're giving money to service is more meaningful than, say, putting up another statue."
The senior class also said they were interested in supporting the University's growing international focus through a gift to Carolina for Kibera.
Other seniors are concerned that the gift will not go towards a physical gift on campus. CFK Summer Fellow Laura Williamson, a senior at UNC, is working with senior class president Ashley Shores and the senior class marshals to brainstorm ways in which the gift could be used in Kibera for the purchase of a physical gift that would be donated to CFK in honor of the UNC Senior Class of 2008.
Carolina for Kibera is excited to make the connection between UNC students and youth leaders in Kibera stronger through the senior class gift.
"By naming CFK the beneficiary of the Senior Campaign for Carolina, not only are the seniors demonstrating an incredible commitment to service," said CFK President and Founder Rye Barcott, "but they also are embracing their role as leaders and partners with their counterparts in Kibera in making the world a better place. Carolina for Kibera is honored to work with the UNC Senior Class of 2008."
