Presenting to the world

Hola Mi Amigos! Como Esta? Canada

Today is Monday, the day we present to the world! We have come along way from Canada to Spain and were very excited.

As you can imagine I´m feeling a roller coaster of emotions: happy, nervous, exited and anxious. This morning started off in a rush, with last minute practicing and site seeing around the expo Zaragoza 2008. After pulling our elves together, we finally have our translators’ ear pieces on and our slides ready to roll. Travis begins the presentation with an introduction of the group members, Shire talks about myths around Canadian water, Amzad speaks about the Walkerton Tragedy, Jae talks Alberta’s oil sands and Aborignal people, Christine speaks about Toronto’s water management system and finally Leann and I speak about Youth 4 Water and our outreach to communities.

Overall the day was a success and we got to meet the director of the Expo who very much enjoyed our presentation. Stay tuned to hear more about our adventures to Barcelona and the rest of our trip!
Ciao! Amigos
