On Friday, April 20th, I spoke to Sharon Grover's Grade 12 World Issues class about the work of Buy-a-Net and my experiences as a voluntour member, in Uganda, in February of 2012. The students were very attentive and asked important questions about the trip and about the work of malaria prevention in Uganda.
I also addressed the topic of what it means to be a "Changemaker", one who recognizes a need and acts to make the world a better place. I challenged them to be "Changemakers" too. You do not need to go to Africa to make a difference. One can find things that need attention or people who need help anywhere in the world, including right here in our own community. Once identified the challenge is to take the next step, and to act. Next week this class will choose their "Class Project". They will select a charity or group to support and will plan how they will raise funds and work to accomplish this goal. Good luck grade 12's. You are our future!
