To celebrate our 40th Anniversary and respond to the call to live interculturality and collaboration, the Associates of Toronto and Beyond collected funds from Central Visitation Province which were sent to Kumbo, Cameroon. Today we are pleased to share these pictures showing how the $1,750 donation is being used to support the work of the Rural Transformation Centre in planting indigenous trees which protect water levels. The OK Clean Water Project worked with the RTC before its closure and so it is wonderful to see our Congrégation de Notre-Dame legacy living on in another way.

Celebration! It was in the spirit of love, compassion and service that the Sisters at the CND Health Center, on the Feast Day of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, gathered to remember, pray, celebrate and give thanks.
