This Christmas Aimee and Laura have just one wish: to travel to Uganda to learn as much as they can about infant and maternal care.
Aimee, who is completing a Bachelor in Nursing at Humber, and Laura have volunteered in both orphanages and maternity wards in the past. Their hope is to return to Uganda once Aimee has completed her degree and make a positive impact on the infant and maternal care in Uganda.
To learn how you can show your support for Aimee and Laura, visit their blog aimeeandlaurainuganda.wordpress.com.
In order to raise the funds needed for their trip they have created handmade bibs with soother strap, mugs and bracelets. To shop their store, visit aimeeandlaurainuganda.wordpress.com/shop.

Eileen De Courcy, Humber's Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning, is very proud to present the 2015-16 Annual Report for the Centre for Teaching & Learning, which can now be read online here.
The report clearly demonstrates how the CTL supports Humber's Academic Schools and its faculty in the pursuit of our collective mission of establishing Humber as a "Leader in Polytechnic Education."
It also shows how our schools and faculty have engaged in ongoing learning, development, training, innovation and research that extends their teaching practice beyond traditional methods.
Please join Eileen in congratulating the schools and faculty on their demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.
She would also like to thank the CTL team for all their hard work and dedication in supporting the schools and faculty.
The CICE Program Team acknowledges all the faculty who has welcomed a CICE student into their classroom this semester.
