Where will they go?

International Internship Presentations, Tuesday 23 March 1900h, Vita Huset (RSS), Ytterjärna.

All of the 38 YIP participants will spend the month of April working with different organizations, projects and initiatives that are bringing about positive change in the world.

This year our participants have been very busy organizing internships and projects at Ecovillages in Guatemala, Nepal and India, helping flood victims in Peru, networking around a conference on saving the Amazonian rain forests in interior Brazil, building a playground at our own Mina Academy in Kenya, working with Siyaphambili, an orphanage home in South Africa, an agricultural training in Namibia, building houses in Russia, etc. 

If you would like to hear more about what our YIP-ies will be doing out in the world during their Internships, please come to their International Internship Presentations next Tuesday 23 March kl 1900 at the RSS Vita Huset. 

Financial support is essential

Many of these projects are in great need of financial and physical and moral support. I am sure that you have already been approached by our eager Participants asking for donations of all kinds to support the work they are doing in these places, and for your support I want to say thank you.

YIP is so grateful for all the help that we receive from you, our friends and neighbors and we hope that you know how thankful we are!
