I need help

...in more ways than one!

But I will keep it to one request for today.  Do you have connections in Kitchener-Waterloo?  Then read on...

Pheakdey and Daniel.  IVEPers in Ontario '09-'10.

MCC Ontario will be welcoming an International Volunteer Exchange Program (IVEP) participant to KW in October.  He was going to be placed in Hamilton, but for a variety of reasons that is not working out.  Instead, we are setting up a work placement based out of the 50 Kent avenue offices in Kitchener.  He will be working with MCC and some of our partners in KW.

I need to find him a home.  And quickly.

Do you have any ideas of people in KW that might be interested in hosting him for 4-10 months?  In your church community? With family?  Friends?  Colleagues?  Feel free to do some shoulder tapping.  And please be in touch asap if you come up with any ideas.

One of my wonderful MCC colleagues has offered to host for a few weeks until we find a more permanent home, so that will buy a bit more time...  But we are looking for someone to start hosting in October or early November.

Hosts receive $400 a month to help cover costs.  The hope is that they will welcome their guest as one of the family.

If you want to learn more about the program, please check out this webpage, or be in touch.

Sincerely,

Allan Reesor-McDowell
