Center for Human Rights Leadership
Hosting Fundraising Luncheon, Feb. 11

The Center for Human Rights Leadership at Claremont McKenna College is hosting a fundraising luncheon featuring CMC student interns from the Center at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 11 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. All proceeds will be used exclusively to support the Center's internship program.
The event also will include remarks from guests Peter Thum '90, founder of Ethos Water, and Sophal Ear, assistant professor of national security at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.
Thum, who was featured in the summer 2006 issue of CMC, founded Ethos Water in 2001, directing a portion of the profits from each bottle sold to clean-water projects around the world. Ethos has since raised more than $6 million and given water to more than 420,000 people.
Sophal Ear moved to the United States from France as a Cambodian refugee at the age of 10. A specialist on post-conflict stabilization and reconstruction, he has consulted for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and served as an Assistant Resident Representative for the United Nations Development Program in Timor-Leste in 2002-2003.
