A Proud Father

Chris, a father in Ottawa, is very proud of his boys, Noah and Isaac, and shares this story:

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you the fundraising story of my son, Noah.

He’s 10 years old, and knows what bed nets means for the health of kids in Africa. In the past couple of years, he and his older son Isaac have run a Backyard Fair each fall and raised $200-300 for bed nets.

We live in Ottawa and one of the local events is called Westfest which is a large community event in west-central Ottawa. They allow buskers, and Noah decide this year to use his Magic Sticks to raise funds for bed nets. In a few hours he raised $108 which is coming your way by check (to avoid the 3% visa charge). He hung in there even when he was getting blisters on his hands.

For me as his father it was amazing experience watching him do this. I am enormously proud of him, and he’s proud of himself, and his service to others. He knows exactly what this means for kids in Africa.

Attached are some pictures of Noah in action.

Thanks

~ Chris
