Results from Sam's Day at Ten Thousand Villages

Sam's day Ten Thousand Villages was extended through Mother's Day at the Oakville store and a couple of others as well, so it took a little longer than expected to tally up the figures. I am delighted to announce that we raised over $600 for Sam's fund. That money will make a huge impact to the kids in Jobat.

Thank you to Frieda at the Oakville store who proposed the idea of Sam's day and promoted it within the Ten Thousand Villages organization, and to all the staff and volunteers at stores across Ontario who made Sam's day happen.

Thank you to all of you who talked up Sam's day and all of you that came into the stores and shopped. Not only did you benefit Sam's fund but you also benefited the artisans around the world who sell their handicrafts through the Ten Thousand Villages organization.
