The Dunham School will host Recycle Couture– A Green Fashion Show tonight in the Reilly Theater at 7 p.m. Students from Dunham collaborated with the University’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Community Outreach to plan the show. Models will wear specially designed pieces created by recycled material.”Our goal is to raise awareness within the community about the importance of recycling,” said Azizza Darwish, Dunham student and director of publicity for the event. Donations will benefit two non-profit organizations. The Spirit of Youth Association, based in Egypt, developed a recycling school to assist people living in poor areas surrounded by garbage dumps near Cairo, Darwish said. The Manna Project International supports impoverished people in Nicaragua and Ecuador, many of whom live in garbage dumps. The school will sell recycled jewelry at the event, and the show will also include a live auction and live music. Doors will open at 6 p.m. – Contact Sabrina Trahan at [email protected]
