Wow! We just heard amazing news from Peguy in Cameroon. The work that we have done here in Canada to raise money to support the improvements at Ecole St. Albert le Grand has inspired others to start contributing to the school! The school now has electricity and two computers! It is beautiful news for us to hear that the generosity that started here in our communities is spreading. And all of it is for the benefit of the children in Bazou. Thank you to everyone for their support, we're really looking forward to coming together with all of you on May 12th at the Gladstone Hotel!

Welcome aboard students of UCC!

We have just learned that the students of Upper Canada College have decided to donate the funds raised at the Casual Dress Day on May 18th to our project. Thank you so much UCC!!

It is absolutely incredible to have the young people of Toronto working to support the young people in Bazou. Last year the money raised by schools in Ontario was a significant portion of what was invested at St. Albert Le Grand.

Schools that have helped in the past include Albert College, Annunciation Catholic School, Michael Powers Secondary School, Glen St. Public School.

If you or your school would like to get involved to help this year, please get in touch!
