Who are the INDEVOURS?
INDEVOURS is student-run organization consisting of myself and my 26 classmates, all studying International Development at the University of Waterloo. We dedicate the fourth year of our studies to learning from and working with communities in the developing world, by participating in an eight-month overseas field placement.
In order to help our members offset some of the significant costs associated with this placement, and in fulfilling the mandate of a fourth year course, we aim to raise $50,000 in the four months preceding our placements through various fundraising events, as we strive to create positive and sustainable social, environmental and economic development for communities locally and globally. We seek to empower and build capacity in others by harnessing diversity, innovation and opportunity.
