Hi I’m Alyssa and this is Justina. For our media
project we’re going to introduce the organization Live different. Live
different started as a Canadian charity in 2000. They try to make a difference
in people’s lives.
Live
different was first called “Absolute Leadership Development”. Live different
goes around to schools in Canada to put on a motivational production. They put
on a concert style assembly.
Live different
has a program called “hero holidays”. Hero holidays provide opportunities to
volunteer in relief projects to those who are living in extreme poverty. Some of
the things they do are building homes, distributing supplies, providing food,
and mobile medical clinics.
Live different
has an academy and the students spend time in Mexico completing a course on
international social justice. You have to be 14 to go and participate in Mexico
you do building projects, excursions, exploring, daily classes, chores,
community projects, teaching, volunteering, rock picking, and working in the
fields.
