MoM's Canada Corporate CAN-mUNITY Partners
Your business can enter into a unique partnership aimed at reducing poverty and creating a just, sustainable, interdependent and peaceful world.
Communities across Latin America ( Central America and the Caribbean) are seeking assistance to develop their skills in education, health, administration, community development, human rights and trades.
By sponsoring a MoM volunteer placement, you will be providing skills to an international community so that they are empowered to take control of their own development.
What’s more, your contribution will be magnified through the generosity of the volunteer who is giving two years of their time – That's over $100,000 in value !!.
No other form of aid is this effective or this cost effective.
You can choose to support work in a field most relevant to your business (education, health, etc.), an international region most relevant to your business or utilising a volunteer from your own region.
MoM will provide regular updates on the progress of your sponsored community, including personal stories from the volunteer which provide a fascinating insight into another culture and how we can best work together to address poverty.
In 2010, MoM is seeking Canadian Corporate CAN-mUNITY Partners to support:
•Education in Honduras, San Salvador, Nicagua and the Caribbean region specifically the Dominican Republic;
•Health in San Salvador;
•Disability in San Salvador;
•Community Development in Honduras and The Dominican Republic;
•HIV/AIDS programs in Dom Rep.;
Not everyone can volunteer, but by supporting those who can you are able to be part of a positive change in the lives of many.
To find out more about becoming a MoM Canada Corporate CAN-mUNITY Partner, contact MoM via email Maria Garcia or phone (416) 244.3699.

MoM's CAN-mUNITY Partnerships
Community Partnerships in Canada
MoM's Canada CommUNITY Partnerships are a unique opportunity for Canadians communities to open their hands to the world. To see the sort of work a Partnership can support, joing our Facebook page who provide support for MoM volunteers in Latin America. To become part of a MoM's CommUNITY Partnership contact Eunice.
The CommUNITY Partner provides:
•Support for the volunteer during their placement
◦Working in another culture is not easy. Often a volunteer can feel lost and alone in their new setting. Knowing that communities in Australia support what they are doing and are with them in solidarity can make these difficulties easier to overcome.
•Financial support to help recruit, prepare, send and support the volunteer
◦The overseas community cannot afford to cover the costs of getting a qualified doctor, teacher, nurse, agriculturalist, business manager, etc. to work in their community. The funds raised by Palms CommUNITY Partners go part of the way to covering these costs.
•An opportunity to achieve true sustainable development
◦A major part of Palms volunteers' mission is to transfer their skills to local staff. This reduces dependence and maintains the dignity of the overseas community.
The CommUNITY Partner receives:
•Regular updates of the volunteer's progress
◦The support given from Canada is not forgotten. The volunteer will send regular updates of their work, life, successes and trials, so that those still in Canada can learn about the issues facing the materially poor, life in another culture and the way development should work.
•Food for thought
◦As part of the volunteer's regular newsletters key points for reflection will be highlighted focusing on a variety of topics from personal to global issues. These can be discussed as part of a group or just used for personal reflection.
•The satisfaction of being part of a peaceful global mission
◦MoM's international mission is a peaceful alternative to the often invasive approaches taken by governments and other organisations. Working relationships are developed, the dignity of all parties is respected and a greater cross-cultural understanding is achieved.
•The best value aid that money can buy
◦It may sound strange, but it is true. The value of your donation is magnified through expertise donated by the volunteer. By assisting MoM to raise as little as $10,000 to keep a volunteer in placement, you can help provide expertise to the value of more than $20,000.
Your Canada CommUNITY Partnership group might:
•Run fundraising activities such as trivia nights, movie nights, market stalls, fetes, fun-runs, concerts, raffles, just pass a hat around once a month, season or year or come up with your own unique ways to have fun while helping out.
•Host a returned volunteer to hear first-hand about their experiences in the field
•Meet to discuss issues of justice, equity, conflict and peace and appropriate ways of approaching them
•Be made up of people from your congregation, school, work or family or just a group of friends who want to make a difference.

CANADIAN-COMMUNITY SUPPORT
CANADIAN-COMMUNITY SUPPORT
CAN-mUNITY is an initiative of MoM aimed at connecting Canadian and international communities through our volunteer program.
It is an opportunity for those who are unable to volunteer, to support those who have chosen to give two years of their life to developing communities. CAN-mUNITY provides an opportunity for Canadians to benefit from the experience of volunteers and other cultures.
CAN-mUNITY provides most of the financial support required to keep a volunteer in placement for two years. MoM can place a teacher in Dominican Republic for two years by raising as little as $13,250 through CAN-mUNITY Support.
Compare this amount to what this teacher would earn over two years in Canada and the value is obvious. CAN-mUNITY contributions are spent only on program costs (all administration costs will be covered by grants from our Canadian international Volunteer Network (CIVN)), so you know that your money is used wisely.
In addition, Can-mUNITY contributes to long-term sustainability for the overseas communities hosting a volunteer. By exchanging skills, MoM's volunteers reduce the community's dependence on future aid.

Workshop Prices
Orientation Course and Re-entry Weekend
For a MoM volunteer who has been agreed to a placement, the cost of the Orientation Course, including eight night's accomodation and food is covered through fundraising initiatives run by MoM, the volunteer and their community. Donations towards the cost of accomodation are gratefully accepted.
For a non-MoM attendee, the cost of the Orientation Course must be covered by the attendee or their sending organisation. For details of the course location, cost or booking procedure contact MoM.
Private Training
Proceeds are directed towards meeting the requests of communities to reduce poverty, by engaging qualified and experienced MoMs volunteers; volunteers who pass on their skills to locals, thus decreasing aid dependence.

•MoM asks for an initial donation of $100.
•One-to-One Sessions and Workshops, Simulations or Fields Trips, for groups no larger than 30, are charged at a rate of $90 per hour, as is time spent preparing input, arranging details and travelling.
•Direct travel costs will also be added.
•Where an activity is built on previous work, time spent preparing and arranging details will normally be kept within one hour.
•Groups larger than 30 are charged an extra $3.00 per hour per head.
•Some sessions for individual enrollment or made up of smaller groups may be organised and facilitated by MoM at our centre. Composite groups will be able to divide costs between them.

MoM's Cross-cultural Mission Preparation
MoM's recognises the value of proper preparation for missions, Immersion or Exposure program participants. Partner communities, participants and experienced sending agencies recognise that these experiences can vary widely. Ministry of Mission has developed a course to best prepare short-term cross-cultural travellers to best understand their journey and engage fully during their short-time.
Including many of the best sessions from our longer Orientation Course, MoM' Mission Course serves to prepare participants or leaders travelling across cultures for a short time (up to three months). Dealing with topics such as culture shock, understanding different perspectives and de-briefing techniques, as well as an introduction to the developmental context in which many programs occur, this course is recommended for schools, congregations, businesses, clubs or other community groups which are considering sending people to experience life in another culture.
Mission preparation participants will get to learn along-side volunteers going for longer periods and gain perspective of the international partnership for development which MoM and other agencies are part of.
This course is not to be missed.
For information on future courses or to organise a private workshop contact MoM via email Maria Garcia or phone (416) 244.3699.

Cross-cultural Orientation Course
Ministry of Mission's is a experienced agency that prepares and sends volunteers overseas. The nine-day, live-in MoM Orientation Course is an integral part of this preparation, providing a variety of skills, knowledge and strategies which participants have found invaluable in their work overseas.
The importance of cross-cultural preparation cannot be overstated. International volunteers and workers experience more success when they have a better understanding of the new culture in which they must live and work. Closer relationships are formed and trust is developed as a result of such an understanding.
Recently attendance of the MoM's Orientation Course has been opened to volunteers, missionaries and employees of other organisations with great success. Participants have found MoM' preparation has eased their transition into the new country and culture, resulting in a more effective, enjoyable and enriching experience overseas.
Our facilitators include enormously experienced and widely respected doctors, counsellors, lecturers, linguists, missionaries, academics and development workers. They use a variety of strategies and activities in communicating their expertise, including:
•Journalling
•Field Studies
•Lecturing
•Simulations
•Scenarios
•Discussion
•Reflection
•Interviews
The emphases on health, culture, development and field experience ensure that participants develop skills and strategies they will actually use in the field, not just a to-do list. For a detailed list of the sessions and their outcomes contact MoM.
By extending our Orientation Course to other organisations, MoM is able to offer a discounted rate for participants in the course. The next MoM Orientation Course, our 3st, is due to be held from July 2nd - 10th 2010. For information on the price of the course and the peaceful setting read more here*.
