Purple might be the trendiest colour this season, but re-think the $79 you were going to spend on that new coat. Put the money towards providing an hour of counselling or group work for newcomer women who are victims of violence and help them begin new lives.

Why do you give a damn?

GIVEADAMN Day-St. Christopher House

By: Paul Wiersma

On Feb. 24, 2010 I took part in this year’s GenNext GiveADamn Day for United Way at St.Christopher House. Upon arrival, there was a hustle and bustle about of children and people. I was intrigued to see them getting the help they needed, but most of all I was happy they were actually seeking it. It’s assuring people know there are places they can go to seek advice, participate in activities, and volunteer their time and efforts with others from their communities. I was happy to see selfless people helping those in need.

Visiting St Alban’s Boys and Girls’ Club was by far the best part of my week. In retrospect, I’m embarrassed that I was so surprised at all the services – swimming lessons, daycare, preschool,a library for studying, a kitchen for bake sales, dance classes, and even a recording studio!
