Seeking help to attend the global Roots & Shoots gathering in England, as representative of the Jane Goodall Institute New Zealand
Wellington
As a member of the Jane Goodall Institute New Zealand's National Youth Leadership Council I have been selected to attend the Global Roots & Shoots Meeting held at Windsor Castle in July of this year.
The Jane Goodall institute and its youth group, Roots & Shoots, is found all over the world and exists to undertake work on global and local sustainability issues and to inspire and empower people to take action to make the world a better place for animals, people, and the environment. One of the biggest underlying principles is the idea that everybody has a role to play and can make a difference, and hence the institute encourages involvement of everyone in issues that are important to them right from primary school upwards.
This is an event where a handful of global Roots & Shoots youth from across 30 different countries come together to brainstorm and plan ways in which we can make our own countries and the world a better place for animals, people and the environment. From this I will be able to bring back to New Zealand fresh global ideas for projects that align with the Jane Goodall Institute New Zealand's goals. I also hope to be able to gain ideas for more ways in which i can encourage a more global perspective in the young people of New Zealand, and help them to make a difference and feel valued in their own communities.
This is a really exciting opportunity but one that i can only take up with your help to get there. Hence, all donations are really gratefully received.
The funds will go towards the cost of flights to and from England.
Thank you Linda :)
