Schools throughout the York Catholic DSB are coming to the assistance of those who were affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Thousands of people in Turkey and Syria are now homeless in winter weather conditions after some of the largest earthquakes in the past 100 years destroyed buildings across the region. Donations are urgently needed for medical, rescue and humanitarian efforts across the region.
SMAL is organizing a “Loonie/Toonie Drive” to help with this effort. Starting tomorrow, Monday February 13, students are encouraged to donate Loonies and Toonies (or more) to this important cause. We will be accepting donations until Friday, February 24.
Donate whatever you can, as every gift will help sustain life, and give hope. Join us in sending a message of love and compassion to those most in need. We will continue to pray for all those affected.
