JUSTICEWEEKpkg.transfer2008-04-25-1209176577.jpgThis week was Justice Week on the Texas Tech campus. Students came together to raise money and awareness for charity organizations worldwide. Tech student Brian Anderson started Justice Week to unite the Tech campus and the Lubbock community, in order to give to people less fortunate. Each day, they raised money for a different charity, hoping to make a difference and change lives. Students Collin Foster says, "I think awareness is a big problem. People just dont realize, they get in the bubble of Lubbock, TX and dont realize that people all over the world dont have what we have here." FOunder Brian Anderson explains, "When people come by and they just drop a dollar or five dollars or ten dollars, everyones like I wish I could give more, and were all poor college students, but its the collaborative effort and the small giving that makes a huge difference, and its all the little things that are making a big change in this world."
