Last Wednesday, October 21, 2015, I was privileged to be invited to the WE Day celebrations with my school district, in Vancouver. I have always wanted to be part of this celebration and was thrilled to death that I finally got to participate.
We Day is a celebration of youth making a difference in their local and global communities. We Schools is the yearlong program that nurtures compassion in young people and gives them the tools to create transformative social change.Sometimes, people don’t act because they’re unaware of the issues and don’t feel connected to the lives affected. Other times, people don’t act because they feel overwhelmed – they wonder how they could possibly make a meaningful difference.
Over 200 students from the Sunshine coast were invited to attend the festivities at Rogers arena. I believe there were 20,000 to 30,000 in total in attendance from all over BC.
