00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:52.222
- Chicago.

00:02:58.690 --> 00:03:08.757
- a grand jam battle of the DJ in order to boost the spirit of the campus. Since it was a success, we

00:03:08.757 --> 00:03:19.227

00:03:23.714 --> 00:03:31.357
- to you about the programs that Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority implements on this campus. As you can see,

00:03:31.357 --> 00:03:39.000
- this dance is going pretty well. The proceeds from it will go to our service project fund. Now, some

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.886
- of the national programs that our sorority implements is for one, the Cleveland Job Corps,

00:03:46.146 --> 00:03:54.734
- and the Negro heritage, also the African hair, AKA village development. It's a development where chapters

00:03:54.734 --> 00:03:57.246
- from our organization sponsors

00:03:57.378 --> 00:04:04.368
- the financial development of African villages. Also, they work with the Housing Foundation, the Voter

00:04:04.368 --> 00:04:11.358
- Education and Registration, domestic travel grants, civil rights, and other programs that elevate the

00:04:11.358 --> 00:04:18.553
- social, economical, cultural, and educational levels of minority groups in our communities. On the local

00:04:18.553 --> 00:04:24.926
- level, Todd's Chapter organizes different types of workshops, like rape awareness workshops,

00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:31.326
- Economic workshops, career strategy workshop.

00:04:31.426 --> 00:04:37.912
- For this semester we're planning to have on Monday and Tuesday to have a fundraising collection for

00:04:37.912 --> 00:04:44.592
- the Red Cross and the proceeds will go to their African famine relief fund. The money will be used for

00:04:44.592 --> 00:04:51.338
- transportation of food, health supplies to different parts of Africa. Another project that we're trying

00:04:51.338 --> 00:04:55.294
- to do campus-wise is a miss a meal in conjunction with care.

00:04:55.618 --> 00:05:02.994
- and we're trying to have it in the different dorms on campus to help also different African countries.

00:05:02.994 --> 00:05:10.586
- For the community, we're planning to have a book drive in April and the money from that will go to either

00:05:10.586 --> 00:05:18.750
- to different schools to help needy students with their scholastic materials or to the West Side Community Center.

00:05:20.322 --> 00:05:27.334
- So those are a lot of the programs that we organize, and that are even more important than dances, because
