Welcome to the blog which I will use to keep you updated during the time leading up to, during, and after my Intercordia experience. I will update it more frequently as the time of my departure grows nearer.
Intercordia is an experiential learning program which includes one semester of academic work followed by a three month placement in a third world country. The goal of the program is to promote cross cultural understanding and moral responsiveness of students by placing them in foreign communities. I have not been assigned a placement yet, but possibilities include Honduras, Ghana, Ukraine, and Bosnia. While I am there, I will live with a host family.
I need to raise approximately $2,500 in order to cover my expenses. If you can donate, click on the link 'Donations' on the right hand side of the page. You can also explore the program by clicking on the 'Intercordia Canada' link.
About Me
- Michael Hayes
- I am a third year student at the University of Toronto-St. Michael's College doing a double major in philosophy and Christianity and culture. This summer I will go to Ukraine for three months to work with Faith and Light--an international community bringing together people with disabilities. This is an integral part of the Intercordia program in which I am enrolled. I will use this blog to record my progress. Intercordia is a registered charity. BN# 833547870RR0001
