ECUnited4Afrika brings a group of Education City students together to raise awareness of a global issue. Here are words from the organizers.

 "The whole concept behind ECUnited4Pakistan was to use the power of crowd sourcing and even the youth of Education City to rally behind one common cause that required our support. We wanted to show that regardless of where our ethnic roots lay, we are united to support others in any form even if there is a significant geographical difference. What matters is that we can come together to make a difference."

- Yasser Khan, talking about ECUnited4Pakistan.

"ECUnited4Afrika is not an event run by any student affairs department and not even an official student group for that matter. ECUnited4Afrika is just a bunch of EC students that get together and raise awareness and gather help to support an very dire and urgent cause!"
