A LIttle About Us

We are the Stankiewicz family. Soon we will be traveling to Tanzania to a town called Boma Ng'ombe near Mount Kilimanjaro. We will be working with Cross Cultural Solutions volunteering in various capacities in the community.

As a family, we've traveled to every province in Canada, and driven to Florida many times. We all love traveling. Africa is the next step in our adventures. We are all very excited for this trip.

Peter (Sr.) is a teacher at a local high school. When he is not at school, or taking care of the kids, he enjoys golfing and going for bike rides. He is looking forward to visiting and learning about a new culture.

Brenda is a public health nurse, but generally prefers to work with Children. She teaches figure skating and coaches soccer to young children. She also volunteers as a Sunday school teacher. She loves the honesty and smiles of the children.

Peter is an avid skateboarder and photographer. After four years of graphic design at George Brown college, he has decided it's time for a little traveling around the world.

Katrina is planning to attend the University of Toronto in the fall, and will be taking forensic science. She is currently working as a cashier at a grocery store. She enjoys figure skating, reading, playing guitar and playing piano. She is interested in learning about a different part of this world.

Elizabeth prefers to be called Libby. She enjoys figure skating, gymnastics and playing and coaching soccer. She is the responsible for suggesting this volunteer vacation. Originally she had wanted to go to Africa to volunteer on her own, but her parents felt that she was too young to go alone, so we're going as a family.

Ali is the youngest of our five children. She is going to miss her pet bunny, Crumbles, who she loves with all her heart. When she is not cuddling her bunny, she likes reading, playing soccer and figure skating. She is looking forward to working with children at her placement.

We are eager to go to Tanzania, to see a different part of the world and to work with people from a different culture. We are thrilled that you have decided to join us on our journey.
