November 13-TWO FABULOUS SPEAKERS







 
ROB BUNBURY - On Diplomacy & Development:  Canadian Diplomat, veteran of stints in Kenya, Afghanistan, Ethiopia,  New York City, and most recently, Mali, Rob was just a regular guy in high school.  How he found his calling, and his experiences in troubled parts of the world, will help us understand the necessity and value of making positive change in the world, as well as how challenging doing the right thing can prove to be.
BRUCE GURNEY - On Refugees & Volunteers:  former Sutherland teacher & UBC instructor, Bruce is heading to Dadaab Refugee Camp in just a couple of weeks.  He will share with us his personal journey to the place where volunteering in such a demanding situation was the next thing on his bucket list, as well as the process of preparing physically and emotionally for this experience.  When he returns to Canada in early 2015, he will join us again in class to share his thoughts and experiences.
