This morning we were fortunate enough to have been interviewed on CBC Radio Metro Morning, here in Toronto. We chatted briefly about our trip, our motivations for going, and the reactions we received once we broke the news to our friends and family.
Here's the link..our interview starts at the 11:45 mark : http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/metromorning_20100827_37352.mp3
We're hoping the exposure will raise extra awareness for the school. For those interested in contributing directly to the school, here's the link to their website : http://www.prefercanada.org/
Just yesterday we sat (and Dave slept) through a mind-numbing film about surfing (produced by Kelly Slater no less) while taking relatives on a tour of the CN Tower. I can compare our experience to the process that produces massive waves in the ocean.
We made a small ripple that extended out to our immediate circle - was sent out even further and was positively received and now we're cruising on a massive wave of support and love. We've raised more donations that just the 2 of us could ever muster - and it's all due to the power of community - our little wave of change has become one giant wave of kindness and goodwill.
What better way to prove we're all connected?
Here's a couple of photos from our visit to the CBC Radio studio. Thanks to Jonathan Pinto for suggesting and co-ordinating the interview idea and to Matt Galloway and the friendly staff at the CBC for the interview !
Quick goat update..we're up to 145 ! Dave will be going to Western Union later today to wire over the money so it gets there safely.
thanks,
Dalreen
