It's a funny thing about setting a goal ... It makes me determined to reach it!! The goal was set a month after my return from volunteering in a Catholic Mission in Belize. I decided to try to raise enough money to build a village church in a small town at the Guatemala - Belize border.
All monies were raised locally through a variety of projects including gardening, presentations to school groups, service clubs & churches, hosted dinners as well as all honorariums received from my community service talks.I would like to thank the following groups and individuals for believing in the project and deciding to be a part of it…
Click on each to see contributing participants:
- Halton Catholic District School Board
- Local Church Groups
- Oakville Knights of Columbus
- Local Groups
- Generous Individuals
The latest update on the building project is that they are combining their collective funds and building both a church and a school…Yeah!!!
Next up…building homes in the Dominican?...a school in Africa?...I'll keep you posted on my plans!!

Community Fundraisers … each year, I choose to speak to 10 local groups as a volunteer. To qualify … your ‘group' must be in the Oakville-Burlington area, must involve volunteers & or be a fundraiser of some kind. Think you might fit into this category … contact me today. Check out the community groups that heard my presentations this past year.
Last but not least, to share with you, I Volunteer poem.
