CDR sponsors young girl's education

SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY SMITH STUDENT CENTER (Nov. 5, 2 p.m.)


College Dress Relief (CDR), a student-run organization within SRU's communication department, is selling bracelets to fundraise and sponsor a young girl in so that she can further her education.


Yuda Bands are Guatemalan bracelets, individually hand-carved and made with re-purposed coconut shells and leather

The name "Yuda" comes from the Spanish "ayudar" meaning "to help," which is exactly what Yuda Bands does. Yuda Bands is a nonprofit organization that supports education in developing nations through the sale of Guatemalan bracelets, each individually hand-carved, hand-painted and made with re-purposed coconut shells and leather.







Calmmer Magura hopes to further her education and someday become a nurse.

The bracelets are only seven dollars each, and all of the proceeds will go to Calmmer Magura, a young girl whose father is terminally ill and mother is unemployed and caring for him full-time. Magura hopes to further her education and someday become a nurse.


Sale of the bracelets will continue this Thursday, Nov. 7; next Tuesday, Nov. 12; and next Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Smith Student Center during common hour.
