Traditional African storytelling got a high-tech boost in Leacock 132 on March 12, as the McGill Chapter of Engineers Without Borders hosted Raha Night. The celebration of African culture included music, dance, a fashion show and other entertainment. The evening was a fundraiser for the Operation 21 Overseas Placements, which will send a McGill student overseas on a one-year internship.
