ALLISON BALDWIN, OBSERVER STAFF WRITER
Issue date: 10/7/08 Section: News
Brand new for the fall semester, new student organization, Youth4Cause hopes to get students involved in the global issue of poverty.
Begun in early Sept. by freshman and computer science major, Karthik Naraldasetty, Youth4- Cause invites all undergraduate students ages 18-25 to participate.
"The club is open to all regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender," said Naraldasetty.
"I hope to get plenty of students involved with world issues. All they do is study and they need to start doing something productive."
Although contributing to the end of world poverty is the main goal of the organization, Naraldasetty plans to discuss and find solutions for other youth related problems.
"I want to emphasize the AIDS epidemic. Everyday in Africa 6,300 people die from AIDS," he reminds students.
Naraldasetty continued to say that he hopes to visit some patients who suffer from the epidemic in the near future.
"My goal is to make them feel comfortable," he explained.
He also hopes to conduct seminars on drinking and smoking for the community.
When asked what his inspiration for starting the club was, Naraldasetty replied, "My father directs a series of awareness programs in India. He is my inspiration."
Naraldasetty has also participated in two youth conferences as an ambassador for India: one in Australia and one in Canada.
