The event begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Meeting House, located at 2700 Bristol Circle. It will encourage young Canadians to support global development. Husband and wife, Alex and Meghan Nicholls, will screen their 40-minute film that features interviews with four young adults from Rwanda as a case study of people living in the developing world. An open, interactive discussion will follow encouraging young Canadians, who may feel they want to make a difference globally, but doubt their ability to do so, to get involved in international development through the Just Us Project (www.TheJustUsProject.com). It's a message the Nicholls' will carry to approximately 5,000 young Canadians in 30 communities between now and February.
