Kristine's Trade Mission to Peru!
Donation protected
As an international development student at the University of Ottawa, my mind has the tendancy to think global. That is why when the opportunity arose to travel to Peru, representing Canada on a 10 day international trade mission alongside 26 other competitively selected youth delegates from across the nation with Global Vision, I couldn't say no!
Together, we are Junior Team Canada.
To summarize, Global Vision is a national non-governmental organization and registered charity
that specializes in experiential learning trips during which youth make meaningful connections between business, government and community. I will be promoting Canadian culture and industry abroad alongside 26 other competitively selected delegates from across the country.
Prior my departure I am responsible for securing mandates with businesses and other organizations and during the trip the goal is to fulfill those mandates by collecting market intelligence and developing key contacts on their behalf.
More specifically, I chose to represent the environment sector. In reading Global Vision’s Peruvian trade mission report from last year, I discovered that with growth in the agricultural and mining sectors comes an increase in the standard of living – which means increased energy
needs. I want to be a part of meeting those needs sustainably.
Yes, there are roadblocks unique to developing countries when it comes to green energy from a lack of infrastructure to a lack of local expertise. My goal on the mission is to play a role in increasing Peru’s capabilities to work towards its sustainable development goals.
I am responsible for raising $4500 in business partnerships and local organization sponsorships, which represents approximately half of my individual costs of participating. Global Vision raises the remaining half through their national partnerships. The money I raise is payable to Global Vision and will go towards the team’s overall expenses. Also, as Global Vision is a registered Canadian charitable organization, they will provide charitable tax receipts to all sponsors. Money raised will go towards expenses associated with the Mission such as travel, accommodations, meals, venues, training materials, administration, etc.
Whether you support me through a partnership or personal donation, your generosity is greatly appreciated!
