The True Spirit of Giving
Dear Friends,
The holiday season is here!
For many people, this means spending time with family and friends. During this festive period, we encourage everyone to take time to reach out to those in your community at home and abroad. By taking small actions to include others, we can embody the spirit of holiday giving.
In this issue of Voices International, you will discover some of the actions you can take as we explore what the spirit of giving means to people around the world. From elementary students in Sri Lanka to a high school football player in Mississauga to young people in China, we can all learn lessons of sharing this holiday season.
Stay warm, and keep your fire for change burning strong.
With peace,
