Bangladesh – Trip of a Lifetime Opportunity!
Friday 27th January 2017
In recent years, the World Mission Fund Committee has sent young leaders around the world to follow the progress of the project for that year. These places have included Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Czech Republic and Trinidad and Tobago.
This year we are looking for two young leaders to spend two weeks in Bangladesh as part of the ‘Bangladesh is Drowning’ project. This funded opportunity will allow you to see first-hand how the fundraising will be supporting small communities in an environmental project.
You can apply to go to Bangladesh as long as you fall into the following criteria:
- You are a registered BB Officer between the ages of 18 and 25
- You are prepared to represent BB Scotland
- You are outgoing and enjoy taking the initiative
- You are prepared to travel overseas in August 2017
- You have a valid UK passport
To apply for this amazing opportunity, we are looking for you to write a short piece of writing (max 250 words) or produce video/sound clip (max two minutes), saying why you wished to apply and how people (in Scotland & in Bangladesh) would benefit from your involvement. Those short-listed will be invited to interviews in April.
If interested, please send your entry to Rhona Drummond rhona.drummond@boys-brigade.org.uk by 10th March. Please make subject of the email WMF Bangladesh. For further information about this year’s World Mission Fund appeal please visit the website.
We wish you the best of luck with your application!
