the ONE Campaign

The ONE Campaign is an amazing initiative which seeks to eradicate poverty by raising awareness. This organization has already seen a huge amount of growth and had a significant influence on U.S. foreign policy and aid. For those of you not already familiar with ONE, I encourage you to go to www.one.org and sign the ONE Declaration or just learn about international issues.

Clemson University actually has a substantial ONE presence. The Clemson ONE Campaign along with other student groups and leaders successfully lobbied President Barker to make Clemson the first ONE University in the nation. The town of Clemson is also a ONE town. Besides learning about ONE and becoming involved with the Clemson ONE Campaign you can also help support ONE and the goal of eliminating extreme poverty by helping with or buying items at the Ten Thousand Villages Fair and the ONE Art show. All money raised from these events will go towards the goal of fighting poverty.
