HELP US OUT

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

We still have quite a bit of funds to raise, the overall goal for the trip is to collectively raise $12 000.  Sounds like a lot, but with your help we can definitely do it!

Where does the money go?

Good question:  The money we raise goes int to our FONDS D’APPUI DE LA COMMUNAUTE bag.  We don’t want to be a burden to our people in Senegal, the most of the money goes to cover costs overseas, such as our rent, electricity, gas, financial support for the Senegal Organisation. Some of the funds is also going to cover the remainder of our plane ticket.

Please write cheques out to ALTERNATIVES with “Root.ED” in the memo.  Tax receipts can be issued if required.  Send your donation to :

    I invite you to contact me concerning collective projects in Montreal, with the possibility of applying for an intern to work on your project this summer — (the intern gets paid by us! good news, hey?). Anyways, it might work out, I really like your project, and reminds me of some ideas I had for a project in Mali and Québec, following some travels I made to the region last year. Okay Peace out, ready for contact, on est ensemble!

      Hey Kristian!
      Sorry it took so long to apply…this is a new pilot project and we are still ironing out some logistics..not sure if we will be able to collaborate for this specific project..but we do plan to do this for another two years hopefully and perhaps we can make some connections? It would be nice to for some of our present and future interns to get an eco-experience outside of Montreal..but still in Quebec!
