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.
