There are many ways of volunteering, engaging your community, and during the pandemic, we learn to live through adversity by continuing finding ways making positive changes in our daily life.

In December 2020, FunforGOal Foundation has organized an online volunteer activity “I see, I care Project”. This is a 3 sessions of an online community engagement activity taking place on December 12th, 19th and 26^th. By attending all 3 sessions, participants will obtain up to 7 volunteering hours, and get to explore and discuss social issues on aboriginal reconciliation in Canada, and history of Chinese immigrants.

FunforGOal Foundation has invited Ms. Joey from Villa Cathay Care Home to give us a virtual tour of the center and a presentation on its history and services. Villa Cathay Care has a long history of caring for senior Chinese immigrants back in 1922. Those who lived in 1922 were some of the first generation of Chinese immigrants who came to BC to build railways and during the Gold Rush period. Villa Cathay was established as a non-profit organization and continues to be one today.

In addition, we also have Ms. Maura Gowans, the Executive Director of the Aboriginal Mother Centre Society to join us sharing her own personal story of growing up under the effects of Residential School. The struggles she was facing then, and how she overcame, and used that experience to empower others are inspirational! She has also shown us how important it is for reconciliation to take place, and the effort of helping aboriginal people regain their culture, language and history back.

BC SPCA

With an amazing opportunity, we set up a private workshop with BC SPCA in Jan 2020. This is a workshop where parents can accompany their young children to learn about  what animal’s needs and wants are, how to take care of them, how to protect them and the most important is how we can get along with all the animals. It’s a very unique lesson for all of us! BC SPCA is an unique entity, a non-profit animal welfare organization which enforces animal protection legislation, operates animal shelters, and runs educational workshops and public awareness programs throughout B.C. Canada.

“Home” is the most safe, comfortable, happy, and full of love place for all of us.

Everyone needs a home and animal too. Pets can make us happy, feel love,and reduce stress.  Please give those animals a second chance, adopt them, give them a “home”.
