MorLove Profiled in the Technician
Under the headline ‘Eco-friendly show will benefit alumna’s organization’, MorLove was profiled on November 9, 2009 in the Technician Online, the website of the student newspaper of North Carolina State University. The story/interview begins below.
This spring’s Redress Raleigh proceeds will be donated to MorLove, an organization that helps orphans.
By Ty Johnson, Editor-in-Chief, the Technician Online
While Redress Raleigh 2010 will be moving further away from campus to Downtown Raleigh instead of happening on Hillsborough Street this year, the connection to campus will remain strong as the proceeds from the eco-friendly fashion show will continue to benefit MorLove, a philanthropic organization founded by Mor Aframian, who graduated from the College of Textiles in May.
MorLove benefits Amani Baby Cottage in Jinja, Uganda, an orphanage where children aged six or younger live, most because their parents died from HIV complications. Aframian said half the children living at the cottage are HIV positive.
