The 2nd–13th November 2009 has been proposed as S.A.G.T’s Humanitarian Awareness Fortnight.

Its purpose is to inform students in the UK of Sri Lanka’ s current humanitarian crisis due to the aftermath of war and its illegal concentration camps, enlighten those who were originally unaware, and give others that are willing to help the chance to do so.

Every day during those weeks, a different university in the UK will be holding an exhibition in their main university campus, where flyers and booklets will be handed out and photo information displayed of the plight of the civilians imprisoned in the concentration camps.

This launch meeting will give an opportunity for those students willing to help prepare themselves for the forthcoming activities to raise awareness and ensure that the fortnight is a success, and will include various informative talks.
