President: Bryan Lin

What up Borderless World Volunteers!!! My name is Bryan and I'm thrilled to be back with BWV this year as your President for 2011-2012! This is my 4th year with this organization, and my second straight year as President. I originally started off as the Vice-President Events in 2008. Reppin my hometown of Aurora, Ontario, I am in the final year of my Psychology degree, with minors in Marketing and Interdisciplinary Life Sciences. Together with the rest of the executive team, I'm determined to make this year the best one yet for everyone involved with BWV since we're obviously one of best clubs at McGill! I'm excited for all the amazing events and initiatives we're planning this year and you should be as well! Everything from our Local, International and Canadian development projects to our volunteer training workshops to our fundraiser events to our academic conference and social bonding activities, there's plenty of variety to get involved so get super pumped! I'm a die-hard sports and Leafs fan, tv show buff, and also a magician so please feel free to come talk me at some point throughout the year and I'll be able to show you what I don't have up my sleeve! I look forward meeting each of you!


Vice-President Internal Affairs: Maria Bennett

Hello! My name is Maria Bennett, and I'm VP Internal Affairs for Borderless World Volunteers. I'm from a Marblehead, Massachusetts, and I'm currently a U2 student with a majoring in International Development Studies, and minoring in Environment Studies and Management. I decided to get involved with BWV last year because I was very interested in volunteering abroad. I am so grateful to have been able to represent our organization on a trip to Kenya in 2011! Along with three other McGill students, I spent two months in very rural village in Western Kenya working on a community development project, doing everything from creating budget reports in school to mudding the walls of a house. My favorite thing about being part of BWV is that it helps provide so many diverse opportunities to get involved in the community. In my spare time, I enjoy running, hiking, cooking, painting, and overall just trying new things -- I'm always up for an adventure! I look forward to continuing my experiences at Borderless World Volunteers!

Vice-President International Project Development: Jasmine Lam

I am very excited to discover, with the rest of the IDC, which adventures BWV volunteers will embark on this summer!  I began my BWV experience four years ago, when I was just a mere freshman coming from Vancouver, lost in the vibrant city of Montreal.  That summer, I went to Ecuador to help turn degraded land on a mountainside using sustainable, permaculture techniques. I decided on a joint honours in Political Science and International Development Studies, and found BWV's work complemented and added to my academic studies, as well as helped shape my personal skills.  This has led me to pursue future career goals in international affairs and development.  On a personal note, I am a big fan of snowboarding, hot yoga, Thai food, the Canucks and the Canadiens.  If you are reading this, I hope I will get to know you and learn about your interests!

Vice-President National Project Development: Rosa Stall


 Hi! I'm Rosa and I am in charge of the National Canadian Project this year. I am currently in U2 studying history and religion. I am really excited to work on the National Project. Having volunteered both in the United States and in Peru, I am really exciting to tackle some issues closer to home. When I am not working on BWV, I am an avid American history reader, I love going for runs, playing soccer, and cooking. I very much look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone involved in BWV this year! Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions you may have about the National Project or BWV in general.

 

Vice-President Local Project Development: Danielle Marjoram

 

Hi my name is Danielle Marjoram and I am the VP Local Project Development for the Borderless World McGill chapter this. I am from Toronto, ON and I'm currently in my second year at McGill, studying Anatomy and Cell Biology. I joined Borderless World as a local volunteer member in 2010, and I was one of BWV's representatives on our international volunteer trip to Kenya last summer! I was given an amazing opportunity through Borderless World and I joined the executive team in hopes of allowing others to experience what grass roots organizations are all about. In addition, I feel that doing volunteer work on  a local community level is just as important. So, I hope to have a successful year taking part in our fund-raising events and coordinating our Montreal-area volunteer projects!

VP On-Campus Fundraising: Charlotte Lewis

Hi my name is Charlotte Lewis, I’ve just recently started working with the Borderless World Volunteers McGill chapter as the VP On-Campus Fundraising for Winter 2012. I’m majoring in Cultural Studies and minoring in Marketing and French. So far, I’m learning more and more about this wonderful organization, and I’m so happy to be a part of something that enacts change in communities and in the lives of others. I love having a crazy, hectic schedule (and an agenda full of ink!). I don’t get out of the library much, but when I do, I enjoy hanging out with friends, skiing, and dreaming.

VP External Fundraising: Samantha Fu

My name's Samantha and I'm in my second year of a Bachelor of Commerce program here at McGill, majoring in Finance. I recently joined Borderless this past Fall as a member of the International Development Committee, and jumped at the opportunity to apply for VP External Fundraising. I've had a lot of fun this past semester with Borderless as I very much enjoy fundraising for a good cause, and I look forward to the numerous events that are coming up this winter. On a more personal note, I'm a dual citizen of both Singapore and Canada, and while I grew up in sunny Singapore, I went to boarding school in Toronto and so I'm well-versed in both cultures. I love travelling and experiencing new things (part of the reason why I joined Borderless), cooking and eating, figure skating, tennis and plenty of other things I shan't bore you with. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you!


International Food Festival Coordinator: Shivani Bhat

I'm Shivani, in my second year at McGill majoring in physiology, and still deciding on a minor :P I come from the beautiful city of Toronto and travelled miles just to go to school on a mountain  -Mont Royal. I am a proud Indian and celebrate every single festival that invovles dancing and sugar sweets! My love of culture drove me to being BWV's International Food Festival Coordinator! My aim this year is organize the best cultural festival you have every seen in March. McGill is extremely multicultural and I want to spread the word of its diversity through food and entertainment, the two things students like most. The festival aims to be one of BWV's major fundraising events of the year, and will be filled with various student performances in addition to bringing cultural food from all around Montreal. Look forward to a colourful year with Borderless World Volunteers this year!


We Are The World Conference Coordinator: Katie Cundale

Katie Cundale is a McGill arts and science student studying biology and geography. This year, she joins the Borderless World executive as the chief organizer BWV's annual We Are the World Conference on Economic Development. This is her second consecutive year working with We Are the World.
