"Cure for Hate" by Tony McAleerMcAleer is a former white supremacist, author of "The Cure for Hate", inspirational speaker and co-founder of Life After Hate, a nonprofit organization formed in 2011 helping people leave the violent far-right to connect with humanity and lead compassionate lives. Tony found an outlet for his teenage rage in the street, after spending 15 years with the White Aryan Resistance movement in Vancouver. It was the outpouring of love he felt at the birth of his children that inspired him to start questioning his hateful beliefs. Thus began the spiritual journey of personal transformation that enabled him to disengage from the highest levels of the white power movement. His hope now is to inspire people to a place of compassion and forgiveness. " In that process I learned that to hold the ideology of separation, or racism, you have to have a closed heart. An open heart makes the ideology irrelevant."

"SOS Children's Village, BC by Michelle BernardSOS Children's Village is the world’s largest organization caring for orphaned and abandoned children. SOS meant socially responsible society (Societas Socialis in Latin). The first SOS Village was founded in 1949 in Austria by Hermann Gmeiner. The BC Village was founded by our club's long time friends Gilles and Lois Bouchard in 1999. SOSBC provides family-based foster care for children and youth in the communities through the Village model. This includes support to caregivers, youth, and kids through residential services, program and support services, and wrap around care. In BC there are over 8,900 children who do not live with their biological parents. Of youth in care, only 44% will graduate within 2 years of expected graduation date; at the Village they have a 100% graduation rate. Michelle is the Director of Development, she is passionate about raising funds, educating and advocating for children and youth who are currently, or have the potential to be, vulnerable and at risk. She has worked in fund development for 20 years at various non-profit organizations, and prior to that worked in the financial and real estate sectors. |
