United Nations Pacific Project

Maya Yaffe (year 10) has been accepted as a delegate to the United Nations Pacific Project 2015.

The Pacific Project is a 12 month initiative and a once-in-a-lifetime grassroots development tour exploring one of our closest neighbours, East Timor. It is a collaboration between United Nations Youth Australia and Destination Dreaming.  Destination Dreaming works with schools to create sustainable community partnerships that teach students about global citizenship, self-awareness and social justice. Student delegates will work closely with local, grassroots East Timorese organisations to support disadvantaged young people struggling in the young nation.

Maya was one of 12 young people from years 10-12 who were chosen from 150 applicants. The young delegates will be leading fundraising initiatives, culminating in an unforgettable two week trip to East Timor during the July school holidays.

 

Congratulations to Maya on being selected and we look forward to hearing of her adventures. Donations to Maya's fundraising can be made through http://www.gofundme.com/m9wzgc
