Cahlia Nelson hasn't added a story.
Hi,
My name is Cahlia, a student, volunteer and global citizen. I am passionate about volunteering and currently volunteer with my church, and local community as a member of the Milton Youth Advisory Council, Teen Advisory Group, Milton Library and Assistant Swim Instructor with the Town of Milton. For me volunteering is beyond 40 hours of civic engagement required for graduation. Volunteering is part of who I am, and that is why I am excited to be joining Mission Now Canada as a volunteer in Filadelfia, Paraguay for 2019.
Mission Now Canada was founded by three friends that share a passion for serving those less fortunate. The projects involve recruiting volunteers that want to serve the global family; Dentists, Dental Assistants/Hygienists, Medical Doctors, nurses and anyone who wishes to help. A group of 42 volunteers joined the Mission Now Canada in Paraguay last year and many from this group will be returning to Paraguay again in 2019.
Each volunteer is responsible for raising the money to go on the trip and many, many Canadians contribute so that equipment, medications, glasses, toys and clothing is provided free of charge. Last year in Paraguay about 1200 people were served by the medical and dental teams in 5 days. We also poured a concrete sidewalk for one of the indigenous communities in the town of Filadelfia.
The 2019 trip will be of a similar scope, and each volunteer is responsible for fundraising $2200.00 to cover their expenses. This is where the generosity of friends and family plays a vital role in the success of this project. If there is anyway you can assist in funding this trip - by either helping sponsor the person who gave you this letter and/or making a donation for the medical/dental work and building project, it would be greatly appreciated.
Please consider assisting me in reaching my fundraising goal of $1500, to join the Mission Now Canada team in Paraguay. Donations are tax-deductible.
Sincerely,
Cahlia
