AUK's Anthropology Club Donations Drive for the Victims of Typhoon Haiyan

The Anthropology Club at the American University of Kuwait (AUK), in collaboration with the Roman Catholic Church of Kuwait, organized a drive to collect blankets, clothes, food, water, and other goods, to send to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

The drive, which took place between November 13 and 21, saw many AUK students eager to participate and give donations for the cause, which were being collected in front of the Liberal Arts Building on the AUK's campus and at the Catholic Church in Kuwait City.

According to Dr. Pellegrino A. Luciano, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at AUK, "The Anthropology Club managed to raise a significant amount of goods to be shipped to the Philippines to aid the victims. The initiative was spearheaded by Danah Ahmad and Fouziah Tebe, students in the Social and Behavioral Science Anthropology (SBSA) Program. Also, I would especially like to thank Carol Ghali and Noora Al-Sebaie for their contributions to this effort."
