First of all, I just want to apologize for not posting for a while. I’ve been really busy going back to school and getting back into the routine of things, so I haven’t had much time to post. However, from now on I will be posting a lot more often.
Anyways…I have some really big news-I got invited to attend We Day!
I am so excited to be attending We Day in Toronto next Thursday! I feel so honoured and lucky to be able to go to We Day and become empowered and inspired! I will also be at the “Night of Champions” which is for youth who have been really involved with Free The Children over the past year.
