My name is Mireille Loussouko. I am a grade 11 student at l'Ecole Gabrielle Roy in Surrey, BC. I am participating in a project called Yaakaar 2009. This project entails a humanitarian trip to Senegal in March 2009, and represents the final component of a Global Perspectives course at school. This course is enabling me to explore the concept of “development”, while expanding my knowledge of unequal development. Attached to this letter is a brief description of the project.
All students and adults will travel to Africa at their own expense. Individual fundraising by all students for their travel costs is part of course. Cost for the trip to Africa will be approximately $3000. This amount includes airfare, vaccinations and room and board in Senegal.
I invite you to play an active and important role in helping me fund my trip to Africa. Part of your donation will go towards funding my trip to Africa, and part of it will be added to the humanitarian aid which we hope to bring with us to Africa next spring.
I thank you in advance for your time and your generosity.
About Me
- Yaakaar 2009..Mimi's journey
- I am originally from Cote d'Ivoire and I immigrated to Canada when I was 10. I am bilingual and I go to a Francophone School. I like my studies and I like socializing at school. Or anywhere! I am laid back and generous. I want a new hairdo every four days. I am a good caretaker...and I like being with family. I like to help people who have less than I do.
