Have you ever wanted to travel internationally and see some of the projects our church supports? Here's a great opportunity for United Church youth and
young adults. Partial funding support is
available, coordinated by the Partners In Mission Unit in our nation church office. Let me know if you are interested.
-Peace, Nancy.
Dear Members of the CFGB Communicators Group,
I am writing to you to let you know of the upcoming Youth
Study Tour to Nicaragua in May for young adults (ages 18-25). The tour is open
to any young adult who wishes to participate, though we particularly encourage
young adults who are connected to our member organizations to apply.
While in Nicaragua we will visit some projects and also
learn about the larger context in which the projects operate. We will explore
various issues dealing with food, farming and agricultural production in
Nicaragua. There will also be a homestay (2-3 nights) and a chance to meet with
Nicaraguan youth. Ultimately, I hope
that the participants will come back inspired to start/continue working for a
more just world through Foodgrains Bank and its members. The website states
that the cost is $3,000 but there are a few possibilities to help lower the
cost per participant.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this
trip!
Regards,
Roberta GramlichYouth Engagement Coordinator
