Delview Youth Philanthropy Initiative 2010



There has been a long standing tradition here at Delview that all Planning 10 classes take part in the a project called YPI (Youth and Philanthropy Initiative). The goal of this project is to spead awareness to youth, of charities in their local communities that are in need. This Project provides students with the chance to change the lives of the less fortunate in their communities. The project includes researching a charity, going to visit the charity, holding an interview with someone at the charity and finally, creating a presentation on the charity and why they feel their chosen charity deserves $5000. In the end there was a competition between 4 groups, all competing for the $5000. This years recipient was "Positive Haven" which is located in the Whalley area of Surrey. Congratulations to Kelsey Reid, Ashley O'Donnell, Alley Sheck and Nolan Wallinger, for putting together a wonderful presentation and for winning $5000 for this local charity. Way to go!
