Members of the Muslim Student Association shared activities and chatted with area children about the holy month of Ramadan at an event at the Colgate Bookstore.

"We wanted to reach out to the Hamilton community and show the kids what Ramadan is about," said Rifat Zaman '10, co-president of the association.

After spending nine weeks this summer volunteering at an orphanage in Tanzania, Jennifer Etkin '10 knows that:

-- She wants to pursue a Peace Corps-type experience after graduation, and eventually develop her interest in international law and human rights issues

-- A young woman from New York City's Park Avenue can have a genuine impact in a village where huts are the norm, not skyscrapers.

-- Time and commitment are just as important, if not more so, than financial contributions in making a difference in someone's life
