it has been a while.. I know... :( I've been super busy! Now, what have I been busy with? Let me begin:
I, along side Katharine Heng & Josephine Mathias started a Non-Profit organization to help the homeless downtown Toronto. Our goal is to raise about $5,000 and to purchase 100 sleeping bags including necessities for the homeless. So far we have reached about 86% of our goal which is 4,300+ & this is just so amazing. I can go on & on & on about what it's about & what we do but instead, I can give you all a great read on different articles we were featured on.
