In late spring, a young student from the newly-formed humanitarian club at William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute in Toronto contacted LWB, looking for a way to support one of our projects. The club is known as The World at Large.
LWB connected them with Take a Stand For Kids (T.A.S.K), the grassroots non-profit that our University of British Columbia committee has been working with over the last year. T.A.S.K works with children, families, and the community of Santa Rosa del Peñon, Nicaragua.
The enterprising World at Large quickly mobilized and held a fundraiser, raising $275 CAD in support of a Nicaraguan library. Given that it was the end of the school year, when most students are dreaming of summer vacation, their accomplishment is to be congratulated even more!
We at LWB are delighted at the excitement and energy that these young philanthropists brought to the project and hope to continue to support this club next year in their fundraising efforts towards the TASK library.
