I couldn't find much, but here's what our newly graduated student has been up to:
From the St Michael's College (Catholic) website: "A multicultural panel on Approaches to Peace featured President Marc vander-Heyden, Assistant Professor of Economics Tara Natarajan, Siham Elhamoumi ’07, a chief organizer of the day’s events and a native of Morocco, and Jacob Awar Ayuen ’06, who found refuge in Vermont from his war-torn home in Sudan."
From the Seven Day's (Vermont's Independent Voice), our girl practiced questioning a presidential candidate: "After relaying some anecdotes from the 2004 election, Flynn moved behind a podium and pretended to be Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani. “Come on, everyone loves me, I’m America’s mayor, ask me some questions!” yelled the radical activist."
"Siham Elhamoumi, a 22-year-old organizer with the Vermont Global Health Coalition, stood up. “Eight thousand people die every day of AIDS worldwide,” she began. “Would you support $50 billion in funding for HIV/AIDS over five years?”"
From the St Michael's College student newspaper:
"Siham Elhamoumi, a senior SGAC member and organizer of World AIDS day events, presented Leahy with an oversized thank you card signed by many students at St. Michael’s.
“Thank you for your leadership in AIDS,” Elhamoumi said to Leahy. “We ask you to support health care workers in Africa with $8 billion over five years.”
After Leahy’s visit, the crowd continued toward Sanders’ office on Church Street.
Rowlands led the march, shouting, “Show me what democracy looks like!”
The crowd responded, yelling, “This is what democracy looks like!”
The group arrived at One Church Street, chanting and waving signs outside of Sanders’ second story office window.
“Thank you Bernie!” shouted the group as Sanders approached.
Elhamoumi addressed Sanders and repeated the plea for $8 billion for the health care worker initiative.
Sanders said students need to work on this issue together, and he thanked them for their activism.
“Moral things help fight against terrorism,” Sanders said. “This is good public policy for America.”"
Hmmm, I wonder if Elhamoumi would thank George Bush, whose made AIDS in Africa his cause, for his activity to stop AIDS?
