Hey everyone,

My name's Jonathan and I'm a member of McMaster's Student's Offering Support. We're a new student organization that offers innovative 'Exam-Aid' sessions for first and second year courses. Admission to an 'Exam Aid' session is a $20 donation, which will go entirely to our partner charity that has yet to be decided upon and will be determined by our Chapter Executives in coordination with Canada Students Offering Support, our parent affiliation.

Canada SOS was created in 2004 by Laurier student, Greg Overholt and, as a student led charitable association, has tutored over 2,500 students and raised over $140,000 for various sustainable development projects over the last four years in Kenya, Belize, Jamaica and Honduras.

We currently have a chemistry session setup for the upcoming midterm next week, but space is limited so if anyone is interested, please message or email me. Admission is $10 and the session is going to be held on Tuesday, March 3.

We're also looking for tutors to help teach first year Biology and Physics courses. So if any TA's or student's who've taken said courses are interested, please email me or reply back.

Thanks,
Jonathan

where did the charity money go in the past four years?

Since the McMaster chapter is fairly new, we're starting to contribute this year. But at our other chapters, they've raised money for many developing countries. Last year Wilfred Laurier and Trent University raised over $40,000 for a school in Honduras. Here's the summary of they did last year:
