Last week I got to meet with two special young people. Gabrielle is in the centre and Graceon the right.
Gabrielle had an idea that was inspired after seeing WE Day in her classroom. She and her sister decided they wanted to do something to help the homeless men and women in Ottawa. Gabrielle and her sister made seven different styles of Christmas cards and then sold them to their family members, friends and teachers. Last week they donated $236 to Shepherds of Good Hope and more than 30 pairs of socks.
I'm always touched by young children who are motivated to help people who are less fortunate. It speaks so well to what type of future leaders we're going to have in this world.
Thank you Gabrielle and Grace. I hope you have a great 2016 and I hope to see you again.
Fantastic work girls...so innovative and compassionate.
