Shine a Light Launch Event - Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Alastair Summerlee, WUSC's past-chair introduces the Shine a Light campaign at historic Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dr. Alastair Summerlee is President of the University of Guelph.

Let's Shine a Light on what girls can achieve if they overcome the challenges they face in accessing education in the refugee camps. With your help we can provide these girls with the tools they need to learn, to strive, and to succeed.

For over 30 years, the WUSC Student Refugee Program has been providing opportunities for young refugees to pursue higher education in Canada. Among the students sponsored by WUSC, men greatly outnumber women because few girls finish high school. This is a situation we aim to change.
