Wow! Dress-Down Day for Tsunami victims

The most incredible feeling yesterday at work was when the office made the announcement just before the end of classes:

We made close to $9000!


The government will match our donation to the Canadian Red Cross. We're just a little school - around 200 kids on the elementary side - that's what blew me away! What wonderful generosity of heart and pocketbook - we'll be sending close to $18,000 just because our kids didn't wear uniforms for the day.


On the home front, our family supports Medecins Sans Frontieres - in hopes that the money goes almost directly to where it's needed - and NOT to corporate offices somewhere.
