Just to remind you, the stated goals of RESPECT are:
1. To increase awareness of refugee issues among North American students (through refugee related (free of charge) teaching/learning materials.

2. To build bridges between North American students and refugee students (through pen-pal programs).

3. To encourage North American young people to act to raise awareness of refugee issues and to raise some funds to assist refugee students (through planning awareness raising events and fundraisers).
