Candlelight vigil held
Yesterday evening at 6:30 pm, the Pakistani Students Association held a candlelight vigil for victims and survivors of the October 8 7.6 magnitude earthquake that has claimed over 73,000 lives. The vigil was held in the vicinity of the new waterfall behind the Commons. The vigil, timed to mark the one-month anniversary of the quake, was held in conjunction with vigils in 28 other cities around the world.
At RPI, over 80 students attended. During the vigil, a speech was given by Mahwish Hamlani, president of PakSA, and Hamnah Siddiqui, secretary of PakSA, highlighting the effects of the tragedy, the efforts of people everywhere to relieve it, and what people can do to help as the harsh Himalayan winter approaches.
