What a year! Salina, Arynn, Evan, Rosemary, Michelle and Jessica are winding down their term as World Vision’s Youth Ambassadors. In celebration, let’s take a look back and celebrate their incredible accomplishments.

2010-2011 has certainly been a year of impact! Thanks to their hard work and passion, our YAs have…

inspired more than 24,000 Canadians through over 130 events to raise more than 100,000 dollars for children living in poverty!

Congratulations YAs on a job well done! You’re an inspiration to us all and we know you will continue to accomplish great things! We look forward to continuing to work with you to make the world a better place.

YA Reflections

Salina Dharamsi, Vancouver B.C.

On Rwanda: “The ‘Rwandan Way’ of exhibiting compassion and warmth in their daily lives will serve as a precedent for my work with World Vision and other organizations that I am blessed to be a part of.”

The YA Experience: “I have really enjoyed being a Youth Ambassador and have learned so much from the World Vision team and YA family. I am so grateful that I was able to visit Rwanda and see firsthand the incredible work World Vision does.”

Advice for the new YAs: “Speak from your heart and really try and shape your presentation based on the audience you will be speaking to! Most importantly, have fun and stay connected to each other and the WV team!”
