Marie-Helene Beaudry- Québec, Canada

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, je me nomme Marie-Hélène Beaudry, j’ai 24 ans et j’ai la chance d’être membre de l’équipe du projet Sources-Fuentes. J’ai un baccalauréat en géographie et je retourne sur les bancs d’école à l’automne pour commencer une maîtrise de recherche. Je travaillerais sur un projet en lien avec l’éducation relative à l’environnement orientée pour les autochtones du Québec. Je suis passionnée par la protection de l’environnement et le respect de la justice sociale, par la sensibilisation et l’éducation alternative. Je participe au projet Sources-Fuentes dans le but d’acquérir de meilleures connaissances sur les enjeux liés à la ressource eau, pour améliorer mes capacités de facilitatrice, pour créer et dispenser un «workshop» qui inspirera d’autres jeunes à devenir des leaders de l’eau, pour apprendre sur le travail de coopérant international et pour améliorer mon espagnol.  Je vous quitte sur cette célèbre phrase de Gandhi : BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE.

Emanuele Lucia- Montréal, Canada

Hello everyone!  My name is Emanuele Lucia and I am 21 years old.  I am one of the members of the Sources - Fuentes Project.  I am currently studying Social Sciences in Cégep.  Once I've completed that, I hope to pursue undergraduate studies in economy.  I've also had the opportunity to participate in Canada World Youth's Youth Leaders in Action program last year.  Environmental issues have always been of particular interest to me, so when I heard about this new initiative, I almost felt as though I had no choice but to apply.  It has been an incredible experience that has allowed me to not only gain knowledge, but also develop skills that will be useful to me forever.

Julia Ruiz- Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Hola a todos! My name is Julia Ruiz, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Tegucigalpa, Honduras! Sustainable development has always been a big interest for me; I studied International relations so that I could learn more about international development and how different organizations take part on this task. Being a previous volunteer for the Perth, ON – Gracias, Honduras 2010 exchange helped me develop skills for team work, facilitation, critical thinking and gain knowledge on sustainable development and environmental consciousness. By having the opportunity of participating on the Sources Project I was able to take action and get involved with water related problems that affect us all. Sources Project has been an incredible experience that has allowed me to be an active global citizen working with other youth with a specific goal!

I am Canadian working for ASONOG and CUSO International in Santa Rosa de Copan for two years as a food security advisor, and now supervisor of the Honduran phase of the Sources-Fuentes water and youth leadership project.  My environmental science, agriculture and facilitation background is a great fit, and I am loving all the cross-cultural collaboration, learning, and creativity that this project is allowing us.
