Five Days for the Homeless - University of Lethbridge

During the five day campaign students from across the country will be making personal sacrifices to make their community a better place. Students will forgo their comforts and live outside, effectively homeless, on their respective campus for five full days and nights.

The campaign is fairly simple. The participants will:

  1. Remain on campus for 5 days.
    The campaign begins 5 PM Sunday March 15th, 2009 and ends 5 PM Friday March 20th, 2009.
  2. Have no income.
    100% of the funds donated to participants are passed on to each regions respective charity cause. 
  3. Have no food or drinks.
    Food can only be received through direct donations, and all non perishable food must be held and donated.
  4. Have only a pillow and a sleeping bag.
    These items can be exchanged for an emergency meal.
  5. Have no access to showers, or facilities to which their student status would usually grant them access.
    Washrooms can only be accessed when campus buildings are open.
  6. Sleep outside.
    The only exception is if inclement weather becomes a health risk.
  7. Attend all classes.
    Participants will complete all academic responsibilities, including student organizations and teaching positions.
  8. Avoid personal communication mediums.
    Participants will be expected to not use cell phones, or online social networking websites (Facebook; Myspace, etc) during the five days campaign. Each region is encouraged to have one cell phone for safety purposes.
  9. Write about their experiences.
    Participants’ experiences will be posted on an online blog available through this website.
 
March 15th - 20th is our 5 Days!
