Reached the target and a double sponsor!!!!!!....

John, Sean and Mel after reaching our target!!

Today, we reached our target at Cottonwood mall (Chilliwack, BC). It was, with no doubt, a very satisfying day. At the moment we have a total of 47 children sponsored (our goal was 45) and we still have 3 days to go. It has been a challenging campaign here at Chilliwack, but we surely have found amazing people with huge hearts, willing to help children who's lives are being affected by poverty and lack of opportunities.

Part of our success comes from the all the kind people we have been able to inspire, but the rest comes from the awesome team I have. The truth of the matter is that, the most important asset we (donorworx) have, as Sarah Shaw very well describes it, is the people in our teams. In the last few weeks I've been able to get to know Sean, Melissa and John and I am really glad they all made it to the BC touring team. They are all passionate about changing the lives of the children we are fighting for, and their enthusiasm and commitment is contagious. Sean has such a warm and gentle soul that is really hard for whoever he approaches not to stop. Melissa has such a friendly and inviting personality that people are drawn to her very easily. John has such an incredible amount of positive energy that is contagious for his teammates but also the people he stops.

Mel with her two sponsors!!..

Today, Mel finished her shift with a family that decided to sponsor two children! There is no doubt that
her hard work and passion is inspiring others to take the step of helping children at our booth!  We ended up with four sponsors and we are determined to reach a new goal of 60 sponsors before we are off to Penticton.
