I am 16 years old and I currently attend Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock as a Junior.   My home parish is St Sophia in Elgin.   I would l would like to join the 2022 Project Mexico missionary trip. Personally, there are many reasons I would like to go to Project Mexico. One important reason is be able to experience helping others firsthand.

I would like to help those who are not as fortunate as us.  I have a roof above my head, clothes to wear and food to eat, but there are people in different countries that do not have this.  I want to help them.  I want to be part of the team to build a home so they could have a roof over their head, a place they could call home.   One of my other reason is to interact with the orphans, play soccer, be there and be a friend to them.   I am grateful to have a family and brothers.  I would like to share what I have here.  I hope my presence will help the orphans and they could see me as a friend.  

Finally, I think this journey will be an experience to give back and  do God’s work.  My orthodox faith will grow stronger and I am ready to represent St Sophia in this year’s Project Mexico.
