Fair encourages international awareness and student action | The Daily Beacon

The first-ever PartnershipsInAction Fair will be held this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in World’s Fair Park in an effort to end global poverty.

The Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. is launching the PartnershipsInAction Fair in Knoxville to raise support and awareness to the problems that persist throughout the world.

The theme for this year’s Fair is “Our Environment: One People, One Planet,” raising awareness to the interconnectivity of world communities.

“UT students are highly encouraged to come out and support the event, if for nothing else than gaining a better understanding of the needs of the developing world,” Aneel Bhimani, graduate student in international development, said. “We are all brothers and sisters in the world community and need to be aware of others in this increasingly shrinking world.”

Unlike other charitable events, the PartneshipsInAction Fair will donate 100 percent of all funds raised directly to projects supported through the organization.
