come from a closely knit family scene to that of a group of ten young people ranging in age from to 20 years she explained Ihde were many mental ad justments required until the group began to think of themselves as a team working towards an end Our leader was only slightly older than the rest of us he said giving program leaders ages as from 21 to years According to Sherry most or the young people who apply for acceptance are those interested in travel and teeing the world She exp lained the basic Idea of the organization of Canada World Youth as an In ternational exchange program where young people from many countries nave an opportunity to share and adapt to cultures In their own and different parts of the world After orientation camp at Collingwood the group was moved to Moosonee where they had live weeks learning about community in volvement with northern Canadian Indians From there Sherry and her com panions went on to Sydney Cape Breton where they worked In the capacity of social
