On Saturday May 16th there was much fun and cookies to be had as creative youngsters raising money to go to camp this summer chalked a mural of the Ten Thousand Villages logo on our sidewalk .
With the support of this program, last year these kids were able to raise enough money to subsidize a number of youth. Businesses, parents, customers and local kids all got inovled to support this fun, unique and colourful initiative.
Embracing the essence of reaching out to help the economically disadvantaged we were able to help youngsters in our community to go to summer camp. It just feels good to help others help themselves! It's a win-win situation for everyone.
