Botswana!

Posted by on April 29th, 2008


My name is Shawna Carroll and I am going into my fourth year of the Concurrent Education program at Wilfrid Laurier University in Brantford, Ontario. I am currently the President of Project Empathy, and will become a general Board Director as of May 1, 2008. I have been involved with Project Empathy, a not-for-profit organization that educates Canadians about HIV/AIDS and assists people affected by the pandemic, for 3 years. I realized that I was blessed living in Canada and knew that I needed to educate myself more about the world around me after journeying to Thailand and Cambodia for a month in 2006 for humanitarian efforts. We have decided to travel to Botswana, Africa for 2 months, working with WUSC’s SWB program, to educate ourselves about the AIDS pandemic and hope to create an effective documentary that will educate Canadian’s about HIV/AIDS and its impacts. Project Empathy travels to Botswana every other year to gain more knowledge and assist any way we can while in the country. We are looking forward to learning about and working in Botswana!
