s I look back over this year, one of the highlights for me is seeing the movement of CGR, especially the
number of volunteers catching the vision to “Live with A purpose.” It’s inspiring seeing volunteers who joined CGR to help provide relief to Fort McMurray residents, to volunteer teams having a “vAcAtion with A purpose” traveling to Greece to engage Refugees first-hand, while others are raising funds for Cuba in the wake of Hurricane Matthew!
Not only did the volunteers go and get involved, but they’ve caught the vision themselves! They are telling their own stories of the refugees, individuals and families they met in person. And they are working towards sponsoring vetted cases of refugee families to resettle in Canada.
Thank you for your generous giving to enable CGR to touch the lives of many in Canada and around the world!
Looking ahead, we need to continue this momentum. The refugee situation is overwhelming, and it is not going away! We cannot turn a blind eye, thinking it’s not our problem. Whether we like it or not, refugees are in our backyard, and more will come. It’s up to us to make a difference!
