Alex, CISV Canada

Inspired by the concepts and methods learnt with CISV, Alex began the Halifax School Arts Project in 2007. Having identified a school with an under-resourced arts department and lack of postive role in the lives of many of the schools youth, Alex was able to unite students from his own student community with the schools pupils. A succesful pilot initiative was developed that used arts as a vehicle for empowerment, promoting a willingness to challenge themselves and set personal goals. This has led to requests for an expansion of the project to other schools in the community. Read more about how the project was developed in CISV News

After Roberto learnt about how many women and children across the world may have to walk up to 6 hours a day just to collect water, he decided to do a sponsored walk and raised money for WaterAid.
