What an amazing two weeks in Cochabamba, Bolivia! Two latrines for the local community centre and day care plus a huge 600 cubic feet water reservoir for the community. Good work Team McMaster. If you want to join the cause next year, feel free to post on this page or send RB message! Keep checking this page regarding various events in the upcoming year!
We are ratified for MSU Club status next year! Congratulations and looking forward to working with all of you great people starting September! Let's make a difference :)
ONE MONTH until our volunteering trip to BOLIVIA!
Fun Fact: The currency is the boliviano (BOB). It is almost impossible to exchange Canadian dollars (cash or traveller's cheques) in Bolivia. Use credit cards, U.S. dollars or bolivianos for purchases.
Happy Canada Day everyone!
Congrats to the applicants who got an interview this week! Good luck!
Thank you everyone for applying for the volunteer trip! We got a lot of interest... but we can only offer a few spots! For the next week, we will review applications and contact successful candidates. =)
