Going Abroad

Hi all,

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer so far. I generally try to limit any personal posts about me to a minimum but this opportunity that I have been presented is too big to ignore. I have always wanted to travel overseas for a work/volunteer project but my crazy school schedule prevented me from doing that. However, now that I have graduated from university - this opportunity seemed like such a perfect fit. I am excited, nervous and eager to go. The thing is, I literally found this out yesterday and I depart in early September, less than 2 months from now. I am required to fund-raise a minimum of $3,200 for this exchange, the costs are to help support the organization and send youths on the exchange. In conjunction with a Canadian team, we are also paired up with an international team. Together we will volunteer in my home country and their home country for 6 months together. I would appreciate it if my readers can help support me in this cause.

Details: The organization I will be going with is CANADA WORLD YOUTH which is a non-profit organization promoting intercultural cooperation and education.

From CWY:

Canada World Youth has been running its programs for 40 years. It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that offers international educational programs to youth between the ages of 17 and 29. Canada World Youth's mission is to increase the ability of people, and especially young people, to participate actively in the development of just, harmonious and sustainable societies. Canada World Youth is not just about travel. CWY programs make it possible for young people from all around the world to live and work in different communities in an active way, learning more about community and international development.



Thank you so much for the continued support!
