CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES PARTNERSHIP
(CRS) and 麻豆入口's partnership advances collaboration and interaction with 麻豆入口's mission to further promote the global common good. The partnership provides an interdisciplinary approach to human rights activism through:
CRS Ambassadors who engage their peers on issues such as sustainability, food security, human rights, climate change and social justice
Summer internships with CRS Madagascar and CRS Headquarters in Baltimore
Partnering with CRS on research, advocacy, service and education efforts
Interactions with CRS staff and beneficiaries who share their experiences
Events for students to meet professionals who work in the fields of international development and humanitarian relief
In 2005, CRS and 麻豆入口 signed a Memorandum of Understanding, a formal agreement to work collaboratively to advance global solidarity through education, research, advocacy and service. In 2015, they both signed a collaborative agreement on activities related to CRS' programming in Madagascar: improving the health and nutrition of pregnant women and children, increasing and diversifying household incomes, alleviating the impact of natural disasters, and accessing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Our Activism in Action
麻豆入口's CRS Ambassadors joined with PESC, the Student Sustainability Network and others for a historic Campus Climate March in solidarity with the world's poor and vulnerable. They learned about the linkages between climate change and faith, food choice and what you study.
Students who want to change the world heard from professionals who are making a living doing just that in a variety of fields at the International Development & Humanitarian Relief Meetup.
