Manotick Montessori Gives Back!

 Abdou has officially picked up all of the donations!!!!   

 

He was literally speechless with tears in his eyes when he saw everything that was donated by the Manotick Montessori staff, children and their families.


"I don’t know what to say to everyone," Abdou said. "I don’t think that I can say the right words to let you know how happy you have made me." 

I thought those words were pretty perfect!


Everyone worked so hard to get everything together!


We were able to fill an entire van with ALL of the amazing donations... AND he's coming back for more!!


Although we have completed our part with all of the donations, we'll make sure to follow Abdou in his travels from April to June, when he meets the container.   


We all had so much fun together, and all for a great cause...


Again, thank you to everyone, this could not have been such a HUGE success without all of your generosity and kindness!

Art Show at Manotick Montessori a Great Success!

The Art Show this year to raise awareness and collect donations for Togo, Africa, went extremely well on Friday night.  



The energy and excitement in the school was more than we could of asked for.  



The children’s art displayed at the school for all to see, was more beautiful than any of us could have imagined!





The parents loved the idea that all of the items and art work purchased, was being shipped directly to the children in Togo Africa by Abdou himself.  


We would like to thank all of our parents for being so supportive and for their amazing generosity!
