In May of 2016, I teamed up with Mel Gibb, who has a huge heart. Mel Gibb, is a mother of two, and a teacher by trade, and in the past few years, brought the joy of being a dance instructor of Intellidance to NW Calgary.
I feel we all have a responsibilty to use our talents and will to bless the lives of others.
Together we hosted a Charity session, that helped benefitted our local Calgary Syrian Refugee Group, called yycsry.ca Through my donation of time and the entire photography session fee with 2 portraits, and her supplying a venue for nw clients in her dance class, and also giving a coupon off future dance classes. Together we raised $500 towards this local support group The Calgary Syrian Refugee Group. They are a most welcoming in providing many resources, and even a warehouse of essentials to help the newcomers get settled in. They bring sense of community in a foreign country with a foreign language.
Here's the photo of Mel's children presenting the cheque to Sam. It was a tense moment just before as her daughter, was experiencing her first wiggly tooth, with her bite into her donut. A memory never to be forgotten.
I meet a few twins during those sessions, and saw them grow up in the year, what joy!
Thank you, Christina
