An Invitation to Elevate Rwanda

Posted by The Elevate Team on 9 October 2009 | 1 Comments

Following on from the success of our large trip out to support the Elevation project in Rwanda in 2008,Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited is currently planning for our next large trip in July of 2010.

Our aim is to see lives changed both for those who join the team and for those in Rwanda that we work with.

Among other things, during the trip we will be:
•    Running two youth camps
•    Undertaking school renovations
•    Building a high end play park [ n conjunction with a team from Newline Skateparks]
•    Being involved in local communities.

We are looking for youth and young adults who not only want to be part of this life changing adventure, but who are committed to having an ongoing involvement back in Canada, including raising awareness, helping raise child sponsorships, special events, presentations and more.

Our Canadian team will also be accompanied by a group of experienced youth workers from Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited and will be taught the skills they need in order to do a great job. The team will be partnered with a similar group of Rwandan young people and we will show that together, we can bring hope to one of the poorest places imaginable. You can expect to be stretched and transformed as you have your life changed by this incredible experience. It’s certainly not something for the faint hearted!

Approximate dates are July 7th to 29th. The cost expected to be between $3500-$3700 depending on numbers and flight details.

If you think you might like to be part of this project, we would like to invite you to join us for an information night at 7pm on Tuesday December 8th at the YU office 115-12975, 84th Avenue in Surrey.

For more information contact Gloria at the Youth Unlimited office – 604.590.3759.

Come and help us change the world!
