SeedStories: Run to End Poverty
Sunday, Oct 21, saw hundreds of runners and walkers turn out for the Tour des Trois Sommets Brébeuf, a twisty-turny trail run over hill and vale for distances ranging from five to 40 kilometres. A fair number of these runners were decked out in EWB’s signature bright orange tech shirts.

Tuesday, June 5, 2012
Whether you play an instrument, sing opera, or rock out on the air guitar, for many of us, music is a significant part of life. From Bach to the Beatles, Mozart to Madonna, music has the power to inspire and evoke emotion, to bring people together, and to enhance learning. That’s right—studies have shown that learning how to play music at a young age can improve development of the left side of the brain, particularly the areas involved in language and reasoning.

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, they even come in the form of an iconic part of Canadian culture. One of the projects at Seeds of Change, the Kibale Health and Conservation Project in Uganda, receives a donation of a different kind: tuques made in Vancouver, B.C. They are hand-knitted by Edith Leroy, whose nephew, McGill Anthropology Professor Colin Chapman, co-founded the Kibale Project six years ago.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011
It may be summertime, when the textbooks and study notes are packed away, but it doesn’t mean learning necessarily takes a break. Some McGill students are continuing their education through the Faculty of Arts Internships program – 83 lucky students, to be exact. This summer’s group of Internship Awards winners are going to gain valuable work experience in their fields of study around the world, from Guadalajara to Geneva, to Phnom Penh and Nairobi.
