This event is definitely worthwhile. A few of us adult learners are trying to find ways to support such events and organizations, even without the luxury of time. Reach out to organizations and find creative ways to make a positive change. Sometimes it's just logistic support, supplies, or even just sharing an experience with students who care deeply about a common cause.
Cheers!
