*PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE*
Dear Friends and Family,
I am going to be doing a really cool innovative international, educational exchange program starting this September through Augustana University (in Alberta), University of Morrellos (in Mexico) and Canada World Youth. RDX (http://www.augustana.ca/rdx/), is a rural development exchange program, much like Katimavik, where I will spend half the year in rural Alberta, and half the year in rural Mexico, living with host families and doing different work placements and educational seminars. Part of my obligation for my program is to raise $3000 for Canada World Youth. All donors receive tax receipts and you can donate online. Here is some more information on Canada World Youth:
Canada World Youth designs and delivers international educational programs for youth (aged 17-29) with a focus on volunteer work and community development in a cross-cultural setting.
Youth in action
Since 1971, more than 21,000 youth have participated in Canada World Youth programs. As a team, youth live and work in communities in Canada and overseas, learning about local and international development and gaining essential job skills for the future.
Canada and the world
Working in partnership with local organizations, the majority of Canada World Youth programs have a phase in Canada and a phase in one of more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Central and Eastern Europe.
Hands-on learning
Canada World Youth is about learning by doing. Its non-formal educational model involves core elements such as the team approach, the counterpart relationship, host families and communities,and partner organizations.
More than 30 years of experience
Canada World Youth was founded by retired senator Jacques Hébert with the mission of increasing young people’s ability to participate actively in the development of just, harmonious and sustainable societies.
