Students of Anth 351 (Ethnography of Melanesia) will be holding a fund-raiser and raffle tomorrow at the Gallery in the SUB from 4:30 to 6:30. The funds raised will go directly to local NGOs involved in relief efforts in Oro province, Papua New Guinea, which was hit by devastating floods about ten days ago resulting in much loss of life and destruction. Two areas where Dr. Bill McKellin and Dr. John Barker work, Uiaku village and Managalase, are especially affected.
