Shack-A-Thon raises
awareness of global poverty
Aggie Habitat for Humanity is hosting its annual Shack-A-Thon to help raise awareness of people living in poverty across
the world. The 10 organizations participating in the four-day event were each assigned a country to represent. The money
raised will go toward building a home in Bryan-College Station.

The Mystery Shack: Egypt
Baby Got Shack: India
“It’s inspired by the
Scooby-Doo Mystery Ma
chine and as part of shack,
each shack has facts about
poverty, a different coun
try,” said Eleanor Crowley,
psychology and Spanish
freshman and member of
Aggies Selflessly Serving in
Shaping Tomorrow. “Our
shack has facts about Egypt,
so we have a pyramid with
the facts, with the little
Scooby Doo poking out; we
have different details about
ASSIST on the shack as
well. We’re all pretty good
friends so it’s not very hard
for us to make entertain
ment. There probably will
be a lot of dancing and sing
ing going on.”

Matthew Barkis, accounting junior, puts together
the roof on the Freshman Aggies Spreading Tradition
shack, FAST is Family.
“We have a side dedi
cated to India,” said Doug
Franklin, Freshman Leaders
in Progress advisor. “We
painted an elephant and
tried to make it a traditional
Indian elephant with some
designs and rag on top of it.
We have three facts of about
our country. Tonight, we’ll
probably just enjoy each
other’s company. It’s up to
the freshman to decide what
to put in here. I built it and
they’re supposed to come.”
Colin Fortune, history senior, Christopher Prieto,
biomedical sciences freshman, and Patrick Link,
biomedical sciences freshman, assemble the inside
of the Flabitat for Humanity shack.
FAST Is Family: Mexico
Habitat for Humanity: United States
“We joined in because
we’re a service-based orga
nization, to help them raise
money, at the end hope
fully someone will buy our
shack,” said 11 ,'Alexis Harris,
member of Freshman Ag
gies Spreading Tradition
and psychology freshman.
“Last semester we did a big
car wash to helji raise money
for all the wood and mate
rials. We’ve been working
on it since the beginning of
the semester. There’s going
to be a GameCube inside so
probably play some Smash,
we’re going to have a speak
er so we can blast music. I
know we’re all sleeping
here — there are at least
14 people sleeping inside of
it. There’s probably going
to be some tight squeezes
in there but we’ll make it
work.”
“A lot of people don’t
know Habitat for Humanity
is a worldwide organization.
We put dots on the map ev
erywhere Habitat has an of
fice and I think it’s in about
70 different countries. Most
of the places are in the US; it
started in [Atlanta]. It is sup
posed to be raising aware
ness for poverty housing but
we all have power, some of
these have TVs, Xboxes. It’s
high-end poverty housing.
It’s more the advocacy and
letting people around cam
pus know,” Lauren Boehm,
civil engineering sopho
more and director of special
events said.
