The Global Education Club

There were several months in the middle of the year where the club was inactive, due to Teacher's strike, and cessation of voluntary services. But there were some activities before and after that.

Accomplishments:

• $35 donation from phone book recycling to a children's hospital
• For UN Peace Day school students drew posters of our "Dream for the Planet", post September 11. The posters went to an international development conference in Spain.
• $138 was donated to Canadian Red Cross from a Used  Book Sale, for assistance of Trade Tower victims' families and Afghanistan children
• 40 pairs of used eyeglasses were collected and sent to needing people in other countries
• Student Feden encouraged us to have a bake sale, with $20 donated to World Vision
• Recycling funds were donated: $25 to Children's Wish Foundation, $25 to the local Baptist Church Soup Kitchen, $25 to the Marmot Recovery Fund, $25 to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, and $12 to the Canadian Peace Alliance
• We encouraged discussion, letter writing, and petitions in regards to the Kyoto Agreement. It was the first that many school members had heard of the Agreement, and a lot of lively discussion and research occurred. 

Other school projects:

• Teacher Charlie Schrama coordinated our annual Terry Fox walk, and we raised $725 for cancer research
• French Immersion donated $53 from recycling to Canadian Red Cross for 9/11 relief. 
• Two students from 3K donated teddy bears to children in New York affected by 9/11
