International Awareness & Involvement

The mission of International Awareness & Involvement is “to promote and enhance global citizenship within our sisterhood, by broadening the knowledge and understanding of other nations, increasing interest in international affairs and developing a greater appreciation for different backgrounds and cultures.”

Baton Rouge Sigma Alumnae's International Awareness & Involvement (IAI) Committee is committed to this mission by providing financial support to Grand Chapter through the IAI Sustainability Plan for the seven approved international projects:

 

1. Adelaide Tambo School (South Africa)

2. Delta House/Vashti Village (Swaziland)

3. DST School Cynthia Butler McIntyre Campus (Haiti)

4. Mary Help of the Sick Hospital (Kenya)

5. I CAN FLY International (Kenya)

6. Muindi Mbingu Boys Secondary School (Kenya)

7. T.R.E.E. – Training Resources for Early Education (South Africa)

 

Baton Rouge Sigma Alumnae's International Awareness Committee further supports this mission by supporting local World AIDS Day events in partnership with community organizations to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, identify support services and commemorate individuals that lost their lives to the disease.
