Hello folks,

Hope you all had a great long weekend and are looking forward to our second volunteer meeting coming up this Wednesday- which ‘incidentally’ falls just after day 30. (I think that certainly calls for a little celebration, don’t you? ) As you probably know, we will be talking about the art auction and hopefully divide up all the tasks that need to be done to ensure the event’s success.

We have our very first volunteer outside of Toronto. Not only Nate has offered to help us offering his expert services in writing and communication, he also brings us a more insider perspective on Haiti-having lived in the country for few months. It is great to have you with us Nate.

I like to invite you guys to check out the new positing on our testimonial section. I am sure you will feel very proud of our volunteers after reading the reviews. I also like to thank the clients for taking the time to provide us with their feedback.

The Globe and Mail printed pictures of trucks working to clean and restore Haiti’s streets. A city of 50 000 people, and only two trucks to clean the city; even the thought of the crew getting up to get on with the seemingly hopeless task reveals the spirit driving Haiti’s rebuilding efforts. Hopelessness certainly has no place this equation.

Just as we finish family day here in Toronto, I cannot help but think of the families in Haiti who have so recently lost so much. I just like to end by saying our thoughts are certainly with them today more than ever before.
