We are very grateful for this good beginning, and we hope that further discussions with interested friends will allow the launch of apprenticeship training.

The Sunnydale Connect youth did a fantastic job leading the program! It was very helpful to have Katelyn Bearinger organize and plan with them; having her work with them gave them a lot of support. It was a lot of work, but once the kids came it made it all worth it! Having a large area to have the programs was so very helpful and nice to be able to spread out. People coming in from the community and becoming aware of Sunnydale is a good idea. It was interesting to have a mime and the big puppets come in. It was a somewhat crazy week but very enjoyable! Through this experience I know some people have a passion to help these children. And for myself, I really enjoyed getting to know the Sunnydale Connect youth and lots of the children. Five Fun Days in my eyes was a success!

Life Change riders did an amazing job – riding and raising! Together we had 106 sponsors giving $6,300 – our team finished in 9th place in Waterloo. Congratulations to our top riders – Mary Horne with $1,081 and Geoffrey Nelson with $1,008 – well done and much appreciated. Funds raised will be shared between the refugee programs of International Teams and LCA programs in the Sunnydale Community – Running and Reading and Sunnydale Connect. Those of you who actively volunteer in these programs will know that each dollar will be well invested in the lives of children and youth in this community. We are very grateful for all your support – thank you!
