Fort Frances Teen Heading To Africa


A Fort Frances teen will be making a trip to Africa this summer.

Dexter Fichuk is one of 25 young people selected across Canada to participate in a two week journey to Kenya in August.

The group will be exploring food security programs.

The trip is sponsored by Saskatchewan's Potashcorp as part of a partnership with the Free the Children organization.

Fichuk made a trip last year to Ecuador to examine initiative put in place by Free the Children.
