Not For Sale!

Last night I was privileged to be able to drive a group from our Introduction to Roman Catholicism course to a "Not for Sale" anti-human-trafficking open meeting in Waterdown at the School Sisters of Notre Dame mother house. It was inspiring. The speakers not only explained the problem (I learned so much), but they also offered a whole range of things everyone can do to help. There are easy things - like print out coupons to give to store owners who don't sell fair-trade chocolate to encourage them to buy some fair trade chocolate. On the other end of the spectrum you can collect data for the organization over-seas.

Beyond U Meeting Today

I met with some Beyond U students today - it was great to meet everyone!

Everyone seems enthusiastic and ready to get the most out of this pilot project.

I look forward to working with everyone further!

Blogging for CRC

Well I figured I should start a blog account for the Centre for Responsible Citizenship (http://sju.ca/crc.html).

Since we're asking Beyond U students, and Beyond Borders students to keep blogs - I figured a good way for me to keep up would be to sign up myself!

I'm not sure if I will actually get a chance to post much in here - we'll see how it goes!
