Fun Fundraising!

What an amazing day! We sat in the University Centre from 12 - 4 pm and sold the squares of the quilt blocks to our fellow students. Honestly I had no idea that it would go so well.

Recently there are a lot of people setting up booths and asking for money for various charities. In fact most of the booths were selling baked goods. I was worried when we set up ours because we had nothing for our supporters to take away (other then a genuine feeling of helping). I was thankfully wrong. Students here at the University of Ottawa willingly opened their wallets, even when as a student money sometimes is not that easy to come by. It made me so proud to be a student here and actually instilled a little hope that we truly are a community!

Today we raised $164.33 towards our goal of five hundred dollars. Which as I said earlier is amazing! So ......
