It’s the first week of collecting donation from our wonderful volunteers, and it is quite exciting to see all the support from the schools and youth we are receiving! Volunteers are asking friends, family, and individuals to take pictures with them, while fundraising to raise money to rehabilitate former child soldiers.

The tables have turned and it is a two school split in two months: John G. Diefenbaker and Lester B. Pearson go head to head again, a departure from Canadian politics, to race in a picture marathon where students are competing against the other to see which school raises the most money! While Diefenbaker and Pearson square off in March, Crescent Height and Sir Winston Churchill will be participating in full flight in April! Watch for more fundraising activites in April…rumour has it at performances.

To which ever school does best!  Expanding from the city wide high school competition, Lisa Bui (Co-Creator and Co-Organizer of Picture the Future Campaign) has rallied up her U of C colleagues for more support to this fundraiser!    

Good luck to all donation collectors and may the most creative and successful team win! Attend the event on Facebook!
