CUAC and MDGs: An Example
Madras Christian College, a CUAC member college, became heavily involved in long-term redevelopment work at kokilamedu, a fishing village along the coast that was devastated by the 2005 Tsunami. One project was to get the fishing industry back in operation - and the college arranged for fishing boats and fishing nets to be purchased. CUAC was able to arrange for an Episcopal parish in the US to raise the money for such boats. Then in 2007, a cross-cultural expedition of six American college students came to India to study the redevelopment work and help launch the fishing boats.
