I leave for Guelph in only five days, and then I'm off to Toronto in exactly one week. I talk about this program all the time to people I meet, who all seem to ask the exact same questions, and it STILL does not feel real! I wonder if it will before I'm actually there...
In the following days I have to wrap up a few things for work, see lots of people I won't see for then next six months, send out some emails, get a couple more vaccinations (= spend lots of money), learn more Hindi (I don't know much), book/rebook appointments in Hamilton, and PACK. This last one will be tricky since I still feel like I have no idea what I need to bring...

About Canada World Youth...
Canada World Youth designs and delivers international educational programs for youth with a focus on volunteer work and community development in a cross-cultural setting. Since 1971, more than 27,000 youth have participated in Canada World Youth programs. As a team, youth live and work in communities in Canada and overseas, learning about local and international development and gaining essential job skills for the future. Working in partnership with local organizations the majority of Canada World Youth programs have a phase in Canada and a phase in one of close to 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Central and Eastern Europe. Canada World Youth is about learning by doing. Its non-formal educational model involves core elements such as the team approach, the counterpart relationships, host families and communities, and partner organizations. Canada World Youth was founded by retired senator Jacques Hébert with the mission of increasing young people’s ability to participate actively in the development of just, harmonious and sustainable societies.
