Guests at the office

Yesterday, we in the Toronto office prepared for our first Open House BBQ and to great success! The office was bustling with perspective volunteers, parents, and friends from the moment our doors opened at 4pm. It was well worth the planning to see so many gathered with collective interests, similar goals and a desire to explore.

We were fortunate to have received generous donations for the BBQ and were able to raise awareness of our initiative to help in the refurbishment of Peruvian schools in the Sacred Valley.

Projects Abroad Canada would like to take this opportunity to thank the alumni and local businesses that helped make this event a success. Thanks in particular to our Romanian alumna, Illana and Maegan for manning the BBQ and bearing the weather!

We’re looking forward to hosting future events that share a similar goal and to meeting new volunteers and their families.

To all those who came, it was a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to hearing of your adventures to come! Many thanks for a successful Open House!
