The live-in is a week long event hosted annually at Mills library. Two students spend one week living in Mills library to raise money for building libraries in third world countries. The live-in will happen from
Jan 27th to February 3rd 2011.
Sooo… What is the Live-In?
The purpose of the Live-In is to raise awareness of literacy issues and to raise money for libraries being built in developing nations. This year, the focus is on libraries in India. We give all of the money we raise to an organization called Room to Read, and they are the ones that build the actual libraries. In terms of how we help, the live-in is the main event carried out by the McMaster chapter of Live-in for Literacy.
What am I going to be doing?
Two students will live in a roped-off area of the Mills lobby from January 27th (noon) until Feburary 3rd . Day and night, the campers will remain in their living quarters with their belongings for the week, which will consist of a tent, a mini fridge, desks, and other things, and promote the fundraiser by speaking out to people passing by. For every hour spent in the library, each camper will be given five minutes, which can be combined so that the camper can shower, attend class, etc. Also, the entire live-in will be broadcasted live via webcam!
