Volunteers of the Friends of the East-West Center will be accepting donation of kitchen items in good condition for the East-West Center Participant Association (EWCPA) upcoming yard sale. The yard sale will be exclusively for the 120+ new student participants arriving at the Center during the first week of August by offering an opportunity for all to acquire a few needed items at a nominal cost. The funds raised from the sale will directly support various student and participant led activities organized by the EWCPA, such as the Concert on the Lawn and the International Potluck.
A survey of past students has identified the following items as being in high demand:
| Baking sheets | Tongs | Kitchen utensils (pots, pans, spatulas, spoons, cups), |
| Water Bottles | Cleaning Supplies for Kitchen | Knives |
| Sheets | Food Processor | Laptop |
| Blankets | Fan | Measuring cups, mixing bowls |
| Blender | Plates | Mini-fridge |

Please join us for a talk session with East-West Center’s YSEALI Fellows as they share ideas for their community projects. They look forward to your feedback and thoughts on their projects for their home countries. You do not have to be a subject matter expert in environmental issues to participate. An ability to listen and keep an open mind are the only requirements. If there are family members or acquaintances that you think would like to share in this experience, feel free to bring them with you.
The hope is that this informal exchange allows all participants to learn more about how environmental issues affect one another in different communities and potentially develop relationships between the participants of the session. Light refreshments will be served.
The Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative (YSEALI) Academic Fellowship on Environmental Issues at the East-West Center is a five-week experiential academic program with lectures, panels, seminar discussions, competitions, debates, and site visits.
