Introducing the T11-6A Volunteers

Hello Everyone!

So with just barely a month left until departure I would just like to introduce the other members of my volunteer team.  The Youth Challenge International has put a team of four of us together to work for six weeks in Arusha.

So here they are:

Jessie

Jessie and I on Halloween. We went as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story.

Jessie is a good friend of mine, and a recent graduate of the University of Guelph.  Jessie is from Owen Sound, Ontario, has lived in Nunavut and a few years ago volunteered in Belize!  Jessie loves to cook and bake, play and watch baseball and gets INCREDIBLY competitive in Wii sports and Fruit Ninja.  It has been a dream of Jessie's to practice medicine in Africa and she has just recently been accepted to the University of Western Ontario's School of Medicine!  

Sureet

Sureet is from Vancouver, BC and is a student at Simon Fraser University, studying History and Gender Studies.  After her undergrad, Sureet would like to work towards a Bachelor of Education and work as an elementary school teacher, working in Canada's northern Aboriginal regions.  Sureet is an experienced traveller having visited India, Panama, Singapore and England.  This is her first trip to Africa!  Sureet likes watching TV and movies, playing video games and baking.

Marilyn

Marilyn is the youngest member of the volunteer team and is currently going to high school in Toronto.  Marilyn is a fan of movies from the 1950s-1990s, enjoys American football and LOVES Greek food.  Marilyn is quite excited about this trip to Tanzania, and might be brave and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro after the project and visit Rwanda!

So there you have it, the T11-6A team members!  I haven't met Sureet or Marilyn, but I'm quite excited to meet, travel and work with them!!
