By Isabelle PrivéThe generosity of SCD employees was again in evidence last Thursday when we held a fund-raising activity in aid of the Red Cross and, through them, famine victims in the Horn of Africa. Over 12 million people are affected by this tragedy and, as we'll be in Africa next year, we felt particularly moved to do our part, as part of Team Kili-2012's voluntary programme.
A half and half draw and sales from our Kili-2012 Corner Shop brought in over $500 which we'll be donating to the Red Cross. WOW!!
Our stand had a very African and Kili atmosphere, with African music from Philippe Noel and a photo-video presentation of Team Kili-2012. Our cabinet maker Pierre had made a superb replica of the wooden sign that we'll be able to touch next year at 5895 meters. We also wore our attractive shirts bearing the logo designed by Viky Pomerleau. Thank you to all these people. We particularly appreciated the generous offer of help from non-members Viky and Philippe.
This event also served to introduce our members and our project to SCD employees who were perhaps unfamiliar with the project and with our mission to promote health, social responsibility, teamwork and physical activity.
Thanks to our employer who allowed us to put on this fund-raising event in aid of the Horn of Africa, and contributed to it by their support. It was a perfect example of team-work. Well done!
THANK YOU!
