Student Movement for Real Change

Description	The Student Movement for Real Change is a leadership-development organization that provides students in the United States a vehicle to advocate for positive change in neglected regions of the world. We empower students to become leaders, giving them opportunities to improve health and education in developing communities worldwide. The Student Movement for Real Change (SMRC) was founded three and a half years ago in Denver, Colorado by Saul Garlick and has since grown to be a national organization endorsed by The Nelson Mandela Foundation. For the past year and a half, the Student Movement has been working diligently to build the Mashlati School of the Limpopo Province in South Africa. Today, the movement includes hundreds of students from Johns Hopkins University to Pomona College, all of whom participate in campus chapters of SMRC called the Student Movement for International Relief (SMIR). We have only begun our efforts to reach out to thousands more students.
