OUR HISTORY
H.O.L.A.S. was established in 2007 by a collective of new students from Latin America who were motivated by the desire to create a space where they could share and express their ideas in an atmosphere that celebrated the cultura latina. Their motivation to create a club was strongly fuelled by a sense of social responsibility, to help communities from back home all the while creating a community, a home, here at Carleton University. They launched initiatives where they could provide humanitarian aid through partnerships with various Canadian- and Latin American-based organizations and celebrate the diversity and culture of Latin America within the framework of this humanitarian sense of social responsibility.Once the club was created and officially registered - through the efforts of its core founders: Gloria, Doris, Jorge, José and Eduardo - it began to attract more and more students of a variety of nationalities who collaborated together to develop activities to celebrate Latin American culture. These include sharing languages – beginner, intermediate, and advanced Spanish and Portuguese discussion groups and lessons; salsa – dance lessons for all levels; weekly movie nights – showcasing a variety of films made in and/or about Latin America; and intramural football (soccer). In addition to regular cultural activities, H.O.L.A.S. specializes in cultural events through which money can be fundraised for humanitarian projects in Latin America. These events are the foundation to any humanitarian mission H.O.L.A.S. undertakes, as it strives to help and give back to many of the diverse communities within Latin America. Presently, H.O.L.A.S. is fortunate to have over 200 members who contribute to H.O.L.A.S. by engaging, sharing, participating, volunteering and being actively involved.
