Statistics show that every day more than 35,000 children die around the world. Sadly, many of these deaths could be prevented with proper health care, medical immunization, better nutrition, improved sanitation practices or something as simple as clean, safe, water. Millions of our young are condemned to live in conditions of extreme poverty, suffering from malnutrition, ill health, illiteracy, violence and a total exclusion from any benefits of economic gdivth. They suffer from being denied the rights that most Canadians take for granted. Yet these are not just conditions facing children in Third World countries - it is estimated that in our own country, 1 in 5 children also live in poverty and neglect.

Established in 2005, SEAA has quickly become one of the best social clubs at UWO. Despite its name, SEAA and its events are in fact open to anybody, regardless of race. This had made SEAA one of the more diverse clubs at UWO. Unlike many of its Asian social club counterparts, who have become disgustingly large in population and extremely impersonal, SEAA distinguishes itself by remaining small and accomodating to all of its valuable members. Remaining in touch with its members is what has allowed SEAA to become so successful in such a short period of time. Our signature event of the year is known as the annual "Dance-off" - a dance competition that allows talented youngsters of all ages to compete in their respective field of dance, ranging from lyrical to break dancing. This event has been held for the past two consecutive years and has attracted satisfactory feedback and attention. Most importantly, the Dance-off is a charity event. Each year we choose a charity organization to donate our proceeds from all operations involved in the competition. We have supported the MS Society in 2007, and the INFUSION fashion show, which supports cancer survivors, in 2008. SEAA looks forward to expanding the population and connections among our fellow members. We also aim to develop better relationships with other cultural clubs, so as to allow members to interact with students from other social organizations on campus as well as other student associations from other universities.

Students are trained to be Bible teachers through a Bible teacher training program.
