Meet the WNC Board – World Neighbours Canada

At the recent World Neighbours Canada AGM, the directors snuck a few minutes to take a group photo. Here are the members of the Board:

Back row, left to right: Dale Dodge, Laurena Rehbein, Bruce Petch, Nav Gill, Graem Nelson, Dave Denbigh

Front row: Mary Doyle, Judy Gray

Dale, Laurena and Mary live in Oliver, B.C. while Bruce, Dave and Judy live in Kamloops. Graem makes his home in Penticton and Nav’s home is in Cawston. Always good to be able to put a face to a name!

How to help:

Volunteer

World Neighbours Canada relies on volunteers for all of its activities. If you can help with any of the following things we would love to hear from you:

organizing visits to schools and clubs when we have guests from overseas.

helping with fundraising events, such as fasts in secondary schools.

copying letters, stuffing envelopes, putting on stamps, etc.

We also organize occasional study tours to the countries where we provide support. If you are interested let us know and we will tell you what is involved. We do not send volunteers overseas to work on our behalf.

Visit Our Program Areas

Our program directors occasionally travel to the program areas to oversee the project. If you are interested in being a program donor, you may be interested in coming along for a visit.

Please understand you will be expected to pay your own way. Remember, we have no paid staff and low, low overhead, so we are able to send 100% of your donation to be used where it matters most.

Donate

Because our overhead costs are very low, we send 100% of your donation to the field programs. (Our minimal administrative costs are covered by our directors.)

World Neighbours Canada Society was founded in B.C. in 1989, and currently supports village-based integrated development programs in Honduras, Nepal and Burkina Faso.
