On March 4th and 5th, one of Gerry Luton’s (a UVic ESL instructor) ESL classes came together to help raise funds (app. $1300!) and awareness for OA. They did this through giving presentations to the other 25 ESL classes, selling OA t-shirts, and by hosting a bake sale.

Min, one of the student organizers, said this: “It was a challenging and stressful assignment for us…but we were so happy because we could help children [who need it].”

They picked OA out a few Canadian organizations to support after they received a 30-minute presentation from OA on what our projects are about.

This is an awesome story and contribution from the OA community.

Thanks for sharing it Min, Gerry and the rest of the ESL class — and for supporting OA!
