We’re Going to Mexico
Posted on 10. May, 2010 by Kevin in Announcements, Blog, Events, Photos
This summer, after everyone has aced their exams and finished their courses, Canvas is going to Mexico! There are a lot of families in Mexico who don’t have proper housing, so fifteen people from Canvas are going to build a house for a family who really needs one. Here are a few of the fearless team who will be making this trip and making a difference:
We’re flying into Atlanta, Georgia, jumping into a big van, and road tripping across America into Mexico. We’ll spend 4 days there building a house with our own two hands. Hammering, cutting, drilling, and plastering. After 4 days we’ll hand the keys of the new house over to the family who will live there. Then we’ll jump in a van and drive home. Oh, and we’re also going to stop in some cool cities along the way to do a little touristy sightseeing. Can you blame us?
Right now we are fund raising for the materials to build the house. Want to make a donation? We’d be very grateful! Contact Jenn or Mike for more information. (We hope to enable online giving soon.)
A Weekend Away with Canvas
Posted on 29. Jan, 2010 by Allison in Announcements, Blog, Events, Video
On 5 – 7 March, Canvas will be going on a weekend away to Wales! We’ll pile into cars and make the drive to Newtown, Wales where we are staying at a retreat center. The cost is £35 per student and that includes lodging and all meals except for dinner on the way there. The weekend will look a lot like a Tuesday night at Canvas plus more. Our newest staff member, Caleb, will do a couple of talks and the band will also be playing throughout the weekend. There are loads of other fun things to do like games, table tennis, basketball, frisbee, and more! It is going to be a brilliant weekend and we hope you can join us! Check out this video to see what the drive to and from Wales will (kind of) look like:
