Canadian students welcome to join BlackBerry Build A Village Award Program

BlackBerry is giving 50 Canadian students a chance to work as a volunteer in Oloirion, Kenya and Veradera, India for the BlackBerry Build A Village Award Program. Students between the ages 14 and 18 can submit their entries now until Jan. 15 through this link. Students have to show leadership qualities, passion, empathy, traits of initiative, maturity and the contributions they have made to their local community.

The program already gave 150 students from Waterloo a chance to be part of this amazing opportunity with classrooms built in Bagad, India and Eor Ewuaso, Kenya. The program also sponsors builds and projects such as teacher trainings, school clinics, water and sanitation system upgrades.
