Get Involved …Take a Stand!

“God forbid that we should ever be comfortable while so many exist in such poverty, while 15 million children face the world each day with no parents, no future and no hope. I believe that our very survival as a global society depends on our response. To whom much is given, much is expected.”

Reach Lesotho is a comprehensive leadership and academic program designed by Student Reach International. The program aims to inspire Canadian students to get involved while raising awareness about HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, Africa. SRI is a Canadian non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing students with humanitarian opportunities. At SRI, we feel that volunteerism and academia can compliment each other. Through this program, not only are we preparing students for post-secondary education, but we are also developing students as leaders in global citizenship.

Twelve Guelph high school students have been selected to participate in this 18 month academic program, which concludes with a trip to Lesotho in the summer of 2011. A video documentary is currently being developed through the experience and will be used across Canada to inspire students to move into action.
