Photo by Monica Wenzlaff Student leaves on exchange By Monica Wenzlaff Next week, Danielle St. Amand is leaving on a six-month exchange program that will take her half way around the world. The 18-year-old Terrace Bay student is one of more than 100 people chosen to participate in this year's Canada World Youth program. She learned that she would be travelling to Nepal in April. "I was tired of rushing through high school," said Danielle. "I thought I'd take advantage of something that will change my life so drastically right now." Canada World Youth is a non- governmental, non-profit organi- zation which operates educational youth exchanges between Canada and developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Now in its nine- teenth year of operation, the pro- gram has involved over 36 exchange countries, and more than 7,400 participants. Danielle learned about Canada World Youth last September, when she saw posters in the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre and in the high school. She picked up an application from the high school guidance office and decided to apply, even though she hadn't heard of anyone from this area ever participating in the exchange. Danielle was invited to attend an evaluation day in Thunder Bay, along with other students from Northern Ontario. There, they were faced with situations they might encounter while in a foreign country. "It. was basically an informa- tion day, and a day to meet the other people who had been cho- sen," said Danielle. "They showed you the hardships so that everyone would know if they did- n't like it." Danielle and seven others from across Canada will partici- pate in the exchange to Nepal, along with eight people from the exchange country. The group will spend three months in a com- munity in Saskatchewan, where they will live with local families, and become involved in volunteer work projects. In November, they will depart for Nepal, where they will spend three months doing community work projects. In Nepal, each Canadian will live with a host family. "It's a cultural experience that shows Canadians how people in other countries live," said Danielle. While in Saskatchewan, the Canadian participants will take language classes to help prepare them for their stay in Nepal. During the six month exchange period, the entire group will meet frequently for discussions, and for "mid-phase retreats" that will include camping trips and moun- tain climbing in Nepal. "I don't think anything will come as a Surprise to me," said Danielle. "I've watched movies and read all the books about Nepal I could find." Canada World Youth was founded by a group of Canadian citizens concerned about the role of youth in contemporary society. It is open to people aged 17 to 20, from a wide range of socio-eco- nomic backgrounds. The program provides the opportunity for both participants and community members to develop a heightened awareness of the realities of life in the Third World and in another part of Canada. It also enables partici- pants to gain the skills and moti- vation to become actively involved in the development of their own communities. Danielle will return to Canada in February to complete her OAC's at Lake Superior High. Next year, she is planning to attend university, working towards a B.A. in Science. "I need the change," said Danielle. "I want a better appre- ciation of my own country."
