Getting Ready to Welcome our New Students!
We’ve been busy getting ready for our three new students, who will arrive sometime in late August. We decided that in order to give them an idea of where they’ll soon be living we would take some photos of the group around Saskatoon and on campus and mail them to the students in Kenya. Hopefully they are as excited to move to Saskatoon, after looking at the photos, as we are to welcome them home.
Thanks to Brilene Greer for the beautiful photos!
- First stop on the tour!
- The Bowl at the U of S – so much green space!
- We have spent quite a bit of time in here enrolling our new students!

Farm Trip 2014
This past weekend we had the good fortune to be invited to enjoy a weekend on a Saskatchewan farm. We travelled to Jessica Brown’s family farm Friday night to relax and unwind. Saturday was jam-packed, with horse and wagon rides, swimming, frisbee, soccer, hot dogs and a campfire, and to top it all off, fireworks. We all went to bed exhausted and woke up… well, not exactly well-rested after listening to the cows moo all night and the birds chirp all morning! However, despite the cows, birds, and the incessant mosquitos, we all agreed that we can’t wait to do it again next year!
Photos coming soon!
When Humanity Speaks for Itself WUSC Will Stand Tall and Proud
“As a former beneficiary of the SRP, I would attest to the fact that when humanity speaks for itself, WUSC will stand tall and proud of its service to humanity and the subsequent empowerment of young people from different refugee camps around the world.”
– Nathaniel Athian Deng, former sponsored student from the University of Saskatchewan and recent grad from the University of Regina
