Safe Arrival in Ethiopia!

We are very excited to be able to share the experiences of our Change Your World Youth Leadership Tour!

The youth met for the first time on Monday, July 5th in Calgary, for a two-day orientation at the Hostel International Calgary. After two days of simulation activities and discussions on health & safety, culture shock, as well as a video workshop, the five participants were ready for their trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Heather, Deborah and the five youth arrived safely in Addis Ababa early Thursday morning. After a much needed rest they will begin to visit ACGC members’ international project partners.

Over the next ten days we will be posting podcasts and blogs describing the participants’ experiences and adventures. The Internet is on dial-up in the guest house in Addis Ababa, so be patient if things don't get updated as much as you hoped! We will try our best to keep you updated!

Thank you for joining us!

  1. Hi, glad you arrived safely! If you get a chance to see the LED/solar lighting system that Dr. Ward Flemons (Canadian Humanitarian) installed in a farmer's home in Ethiopia, we would like to verify that it is still working fine. Add Your Light designed the system and it is important for us to follow up. Deborah will know where the system is. Thanks for your help!! Have a great time! Having difficulty posting this, so will write my email here. jan@addyourlight.org
