This
summer, 17 Métis youth ages 18-30 from across the province
will be going on a 14-day trip to Ecuador to do community service
in Cotacachi, an Indigenous community. This project is being
offered through a partnership with the Métis Nation
of Ontario Training Initiatives and Canada World Youth's Global
Learner Program. Youth are responsible for fundraising a portion
of the total costs (approx. $2000-$2500 per person).
This opportunity
will be full of cultural excursions where youth will gain an
understanding of Ecuador and its culture through family living
and volunteer community work. Of course being immersed in a culture
different from one's own gives rise to many questions about one's
own identity and culture, as a Métis person. As Métis
youth, they will be sharing Métis history, values, traditions
and pride in Métis arts and culture, with the Indigenous
people of Ecuador. This will be an amazing opportunity for Métis
youth to learn about Ecuadorian culture an gain international
leadership experience to bring back to their communities.
Here's how
you can support us:
- make
a financial donation (please make cheques payable to
'Métis Nation of Ontario Ecuador Program Funds')
- donate
a gift for our AGA raffle or silent auction
- donate
food for fundraiser meals at AGA
