With that being stated, we needed to share a particular story behind one of many latest donations we now have obtained.

One snowy Tuesday in December, we obtained 10 packing containers of housewares, amongst different nice and durable furnishings from our fantastic donors.

These 10 packing containers of pots and pans, utensils and silverware had been collected by college students from Mme. Zarrabi Yan’s Grade 7 class at JD Hogarth Public College. Along with their instructor, Mrs. Nava Zarrabi-Yan, they’ve been learning, discussing, and appearing on the United Nations 17 Objectives for Sustainable Improvement (SDG). Their first exercise as a category was studying the Novel Refugee by Alan Gatz. Whereas studying, they’d many discussions about refugees around the globe, previous and current. The category spoke with a volunteer from the Matthew Home in Toronto and realized concerning the course of and struggles with acquiring refugee standing.

This sparked an thought. Children needed to assist Refugees in Canada and to try this, they determined to run a donation drive for clothes gadgets to donate to the Clothes Closet in Guelph and Kitchen gadgets for Furnishings Financial institution in Toronto. The category ready faculty shows, bulletins and wrote letters house to households to contain the whole faculty group.
