Two down eight to go.


Hi
Everyone,

The Calgary Delivery went very well. City News, CBC and NUTV covered the event. Keep an eye out for my ugly mug on the evening news. A reporter for the CBC wrote the following:

We held the event at the Mustard Seeds foothills shelter. When asking one of the Seed staff about the effect of giving underwear to an individual, she told us that small gestures like this make all the difference. Once she simply offered a man the opportunity to take a shower, he burst into tears. Small luxuries when you have none can be an overwhelming gift.

I going to crash at home with my family tonight then head for the Mustard Seed in Edmonton at about 6am. We will make our drop at noon local time. I am looking forward to the relatively short distances in the prairies.

Ramin continues to get exceptional footage of the faces and places on the front lines.

Thanks as always to our supporters.

Brent
