GUEST SPEAKER
Johanna Perkin spoke to us on her trip to Kenya.  She is now in her first year at Mt. A. In arts and will focus on international studies.  She first thanked Rotary for her invitation to speak and for the support we offered last year to help offset her expenses.  The organization “Me to We” was began by Craig Keilburger at 12 years of age.  Me to We has blossomed into many chapters throughout the world.  Johanna spent 3 weeks in Kenya in a town of Euqaso population 1400 were 70% of the people live on less than $2.00 per day.  This town was located three hours from the main city and she worked on the construction of a school building.  It takes 1 ½ months to complete a school.  During her time there she visited a health centre, and all girl boarding high school and took part in other activities such as beading, water walks and weapon training.  With the experience of Kenya under her belt, she has changed herself as a person and feels the journey encouraged her to dig deep within herself to explore her possibilities.
