Early in September, everybody i talked to wanted to know what i was going to be doing for the next school season. I told them I wasnt going to school and that I was embarking on a nation wide journey known as Katimavik. The commonly occuring response was "Katima-what?" or "Katima-who?". What a great conversation starter! The first time i had heard the infamous response I knew i needed to come up with some sort of shpeel. And here it went...
Katimavik is a nation-wide volunteer program for youths between the ages of 17-21. We spend 9 months travelling Canada, meeting new people, learning new cultures and volunteering at anything thats thrown at us. Spending three months in three different communities we are placed at different (mostly)not for profit organizations in the community where we volunteer fulltime.
That was how it went. It was rather extent, but thats how it had to be.
So here i am in Courtenay BC, volunteering fulltime at a wonderful place called ValleyLinks.
