With the Ebola virus outbreak now ended in Sierra Leone, the University YMCA, the Illinois State Alliance of YMCAs and the Sierra Leone YMCA are revisiting an international-service learning exchange partnership that was brought to a halt by the Ebola outbreak relief efforts in 2014.
Campus members are invited to meet Christian Kamara, the CEO and national secretary of the YMCA of Sierra Leone, to learn more about the work that the organization performs and to explore possible collaborations.
The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be Monday, June 20, from 5-7 p.m. at the University YMCA, 1001 S. Wright St., Champaign. Visit the University YMCA online form to make a reservation.
