Making a difference in Canada…Lifecycle
Published by October 23rd, 2007 in Mexico and Student Zone. 0 CommentsAnnouncing our New Western Departure!
Published by October 19th, 2007 in Newsletter, Front Page, Dominican Republic and Mainpage. 2 CommentsHello Everyone! We have exciting news for a Friday afternoon. It’s official: Hero Holiday Dominican Republic has a new departure location for Summer 2008! Abbotsford, BC. We have had overwhelming participation from our students in Western Canada, despite the long haul it required to get them to Dominican Republic. Yes, sleepy-eyed after hours of travel, they are little troopers! Details…participants can choose an Abbotsford, BC departure rather than Hamilton, ON. The dates for the trips remain the same. We will have our staff ready and waiting whether you show up in Hamilton or Abbotsford. However, since Abbotsford is twice the distance from Sosua as Hamilton, the cost of Hero Holiday is slightly higher at $2595. Leadership Students, you are not forgotten! You also have the option of flying from Abbotsford instead of Hamilton for a cost of $3895. Well, I hope you are as excited as we are!

Important News about School of Leadership
Published by October 19th, 2007 in Student Zone, Mainpage and Featured. ClosedOur School of Leadership has an exciting new development for 2008, and we would like to share it with you!
Due to popular demand, we are planning two start dates for 2008!
The first school of the year will be an 8 month program running from January 10th-August 13th, 2008. The school year will be an exciting mix of 20 weeks in Canada, 13 weeks in Dominican Republic, and an amazing social justice curriculum that will change the way you think and change your world view! While in Canada, our students tour the high schools of our nation with one of our road teams. While in Dominican Republic, our students will be involved with an innovative Social Justice Curriculum, working in the local communities, and helping to host our July Hero Holidays.
We will also be running our regular 9 month program from August 20th, 2008-May 31, 2009, with our students traveling to Mexico for thirteen weeks.
This means that you have two options if you are interested in joining Absolute in the coming year! We are accepting a maximum of 20 students for each term, so if you’re interested, please get your applications in as soon as possible, as we cannot accept any more applications once a semester is full.
During both programs, you will experience a wide range of opportunities and possibilities. Continue reading 'Important News about School of Leadership'
