Victoria Women's Transition House Society

See Also: Childrens Miracle Network

In 2007, I was pleased to offer, on two occasions, to the local high school's resource centre, the sum of $500, one in Spring & the other in Fall. I made similar contributions in 2006, 2005, 2004, & 2003.

I am a strong believer in the liberating power of education in an individual's life.

At earlier moments in my life I was a teacher, at the secondary school level (English, French, and Theatre, to grades 8 to 12), and I know how important this experience can be in helping students to realize their very best in later life. Along with remembering the secondary school grade levels, I also offer contributions to the elementary schools and to the pre-school options on Island, when asked to become involved in their fundraisers. I do believe in giving back to our very special community.

Further gifts to the community include: financial support of the Lady Minto Hospital, financial support of the indoor pool society (Ssplash), support of the SPCA, Terry Fox Run for Cancer, support of ArtSpring, & regular contributions to the Children's Miracle Network (CMN).

"Think of the act of charity and all of its beneficial results as aimed solely toward the benefit of others. Even though charity can be performed by those seeking their own benefit...altruistic giving involves no selfishness at all." (Dalai Lama)

"A loving altruistic attitude has only one face, kindness to others." (Dalai Lama)
