Students from Capilano University get involved - the application process begins!

Beginning the week of November 8, interested students from Capilano University will be putting together application packages expressing their interest in traveling to Viet Nam as part of the next two Canadian trips to work in Ta Phin and Lao Chai (estimated timeline is March and June of 2011 for these trips). After submitting their applications (due Tuesday, November 16), students will be participating in a competitive selection process including both a group assessment on November 19 and individual interviews the following week.A total of four students will be selected to participate (two students on each trip).

We are looking forward to gaining the involvement of several more students at a local level in British Columbia as well, to contribute to a variety of initiatives such as fundraising for the project, helping with lesson planning and preparation of classroom materials, and compiling information to promote the project to external audiences.

Stay tuned for profiles of the students who have been selected to participate!
