About Me
Volunteer Coordinator for ServiceLink, working from the Burlington (ON) office.
Interests
I am a member of The Carpenteros and Friends, a group that began at Calvary CRC (Flamborough, ON) and has expanded to include members from several others CRCs and non-CRC churches. For the past 10 years, the Carpenteros have been supporting community development in Honduras through short-term service teams and various fundraising activities that support micro-finance cooperatives, agricultural and sanitation projects, health and nutritional training, justice advocacy, and crisis/emergency relief, in partnership with CRWRC and Diaconia Nacional. Funds to support this work are raised primarily through an annual banquet, normally held on the third Thurs. in September, which has featured various Christian athletes, and through a Valentine's Dinner.
