Meet the Delegation

Ben Geddes

A self-proclaimed travel addict, Ben came to YMCA Calgary from Australia as a GAP student in April 2007. Having now stayed at Camp Chief Hector YMCA for seven seasons, he has gained extensive youth leadership and camp experience to share with our partners in Ukraine.

Analu Lobos

Analu quite literally grew up at Eau Claire YMCA, attending daycare while her mother and grandmother worked in the childcare centre, and later participating in the YMCA swim club. In 2008, Analu herself worked for ECY as a day camp counselor, an experience that will be invaluable as she helps run day camps in Ukraine.

Dan Taubensee

Dan is YMCA Calgary's International Manager, responsible for international partnerships, education and awareness at the YMCA. Dan has travelled extensively, and lived in South Africa for six months with his family, but this will be his first trip to Ukraine.
