About Me

I was born and raised in Simcoe, Ontario and am currently in my third year at the University of Ottawa working towards my Bachelor of Social Science degree in Conflict Studies and Human Rights with a Minor in Criminology.

In 2011, I will be furthering my education by travelling to Guyana, South America to participate in a development project with Youth Challenge International. I am interested in working with youth and women to promote personal and community development through education and support services. Guyana remains one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean Commonwealth and it will be the focus of my team to work to improve the social and economic welfare of a community. Health education, youth skills, leadership development and literacy training are just some of the areas we will be concentrating on during our time in Guyana

I am currently fund-raising toward my goal of $3700.00 and would appreciate your assistance. Only 12% of this will be spent on administrative costs and the rest goes directly to the programs offered by YCI. I hope you will be able to support my participation in this program through an online donation made by clicking on the donate button on the bottom left or by contacting me in person. Youth Challenge International is a registered Canadian charity and donations of $25.00 or more will be issued a tax-receipt. Any amount that you would be willing to donate would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.
