Since the beginning of our fund-raising activities, we've had lots of support from Desjardins employees and from our families. The aim of these activities is to get more people involved as our costs are so high: transport, ascent, equipment, vaccinations, etc.. As a way in which to thank everyone who helps us, Team Kili-2012 has decided to volunteer our time and get involved in the community.

As a way in which to thank everyone who helps us, Team Kili-2012 has decided to volunteer our time and get involved in the community.
Our mission is to volunteer in different charitable, non-lucrative organisations, foundations and clubs. So, during the next 16 months, 30 volunteers (25 from Desjardins) will be giving their time, energy and talents towards improving well-being in the community. Our first event will be on June 5 when 4 of us will man the phones for the Téléthon Opération Enfant Soleil 2011.
Other forthcoming activities - serving meals to the homeless, giving moral support in children's hospitals and visiting homes for the elderly, etc.. It's nice to receive, but it's equally important to give of oneself, to offer help and support wherever it's needed. Team Kili-2012 members are amenable, open-spirited, generous and full of empathy for others. If you know of a place where our presence could make a difference, don't hesitate telling us about it and we'll be very happy to help on your behalf.
