Why should Canadians care about International Development?

Why should Canadians care about International Development?As Canadians, we are fortunate to be living in one of the best countries in the world. We have access to great healthcare and education programs, and our government is responsive to our needs. Unfortunately, many people in other countries do not have access to the same benefits as we do. To show gratitude for what we have as Canadians, we should extend our helping hands to others who are not as fortunate as ourselves.

We have much to offer the world. Not just in terms of our ability to give financial assistance, but also in terms of our ability to give our time and knowledge to promote International Development across the globe. Every single day, the world grows increasingly interconnected; in our day and age, we are truly living in a global village. We Canadians have a great potential to impact positive change across the globe through International Development initiatives.
