Unitarian Universalists donate to CalArts Rwanda Genocide Library
During their Sunday church services on September 28, the Unitarian Universalist Worship Team had arranged for Kathy Carbone, Performing Arts Librarian at CalArts, to speak about the university's sister library in Kigali, Rwanda. When the collection plate was passed around, all proceeds (several hundred dollars) were donated to that charitable effort.
The Interdisciplinary Genocide Studies Center (IGSC) has launched an ambitious book donation drive to have 1,000 books on the shelves in time for the library's grand opening in April 2009. The mission of the IGSC is to testify to and study genocide, to understand mechanisms and structures of violence, with the goal of preventing mass violence through education. The collection is focused on the Tutsi genocide.

Unitarian Universalist Church services are held each Sunday at 10:30 AM at the SCV Senior Center, 22900 Market St., in Newhall. For directions and further information, visit www.UUofSCV.org or call 661-254-7866. This congregation offers a spiritual home for religious free thinkers, drawing upon the teachings of many of the world's faiths to help individuals build their own theology.
