Humanitarian Experiences for YOUTH


Have you ever wanted to be part of a humanitarian project? Do you want to see the world? Are you 16-19 years old? 
HEFY is an Especially for Youth related program where youth spend a week in another country doing humanitarian service. 


We just found out about this program so it's a little late to apply for this summer. . . . unless, you can get your parent to go along as an adult coach. My niece participated in the Belize trip last year & loved it so much she is going to Peru this summer. The countries to choose from are Peru, Ecuador, Fiji, Tonga, and Belize.  Definitely start planning for this NOW if you are interested for next summer!


Visit http://www.hefy.org/ for details & registration.
