YES YOU!!Are you a student interested in social entrepreneurship and important issues such as fighting poverty and international development?
The Sauder Africa Initiative is entering its 6th successful year of operation and is starting to recruit its 2011 team. Applications for Sauder Africa Initiative - Kenya 2011 are now being accepted until November 25 (before midnight).
You can find the application by going to the Sauder Africa Initiative website at: http://www.africa.sauder.ubc.ca and looking at the home page under "Latest News."
SE101 is recruiting for two dedicated groups of students who want to change the lives of youth in the poorest parts of Nairobi, Kenya:
a) a Vancouver-based team who will help support the ground team through fundraising, curriculum development, mentoring, communications, and other tasks as needed;
b)a traveling team who will deliver a three-week program based in Nairobi, to help Kenyan youth develop business plans. We are opening SE101 to those of you who aren’t able to travel to Kenya because many of you have expressed a desire to contribute in some way to SE101. We encourage you to consider this opportunity to join the team. For the travelling team, the 2011 project will be held in Kenya July 28-August 19, 2011 and will be conducted in partnership with Kenyan youth organizations and Strathmore University. You can read more about the project requirements by going to http://africa.sauder.ubc.ca/SE101_Kenya_2011.html.
The Info session for SE101 will be held on Tuesday, November 16th, 1-2:30, in SCARF 201. The information session will provide an opportunity for you to learn more about this exciting project and meet some of the participants from previous years. If you have any questions about the program or the application procedure, please contact Professor Nancy Langton (nancy.langton@sauder.ubc.ca).
