And this one is to Inuit Youth Leader's in Nunavut (thanks Henko for their e-mail addresses! I have already contacted two of them, Becky and Tomas from Iqaluit, the other two - today)
Hey guys!
My name is Zuzanna Łukasik and I'm from Cracow, Poland. Together with 15 other young people from all over the world I got selected to attend the 9th Selection Camp of the Pangaea Young Explorers Program. The goal of this program, leaded by Mike Horn - a famous explorer - is to show the young generation how wonderful our Earth is and how to protect it efficiently. 8 participants of each camp are being invited to join an expedition - in my case the desired destination place is Nunavut, around Baffin Island.
But before the camp (12-22 June) we have to prepare a conspect of a project that could be led by Young Explorers during the Expedition. This project must concern problems of local ecosystem and community. The aim is to discover and help the region. We must carry out some research in order to identify key environmental and social issues in region of Nunavut, especially Baffin Island neighbourhoods. We came across your - we would like to know something more about your organisation and your job!
We wanted to contact some schools from Nunavut, but it appeared that the school year is almost over. Although the principals really want to help us, they can not carry out a questionnaire for youths that we wrote. We would be extremely grateful if you could spread it (please, find it attached to this e-mail as a pdf. document). We are able to find almost every information about the ecosystem of Nunavut in the Internet, but there's almost no chance for a personal contact with our peers and they are the generation to who we would like address our project.
We also ask for some information about your job: what do you do as Regional Youth Coordinators? What is your role? Have you got anything to do with environmental protection? Water safety programs?
Thank you in advance for your time and energy. We are eagerly waiting for the answers as we have only 2 weeks to prepare the proposal of our project. We believe this is a great way to share the uniqueness of our cultures and to get to know more about each other. If it is at all possible, we would appreciate a reply by latest Friday 03 June.
Yours faithfully,
Zuzanna Łukasik on the behalf of Team 1
