‘Getting to Know You’
Submitted by: Mary Krupa-Clark

Last May, when we went on a humanitarian mission
to Haiti, some of our group from Cardston were able to meet Pastor Gaetan. He runs an orphanage with 30 children. He is in the process of building a school for the children in his orphanage.

He asked us if we could help. He stated that $350 Canadian dollars would support one child in Haiti for the whole school year. We have pictures of the 30 children and a short biography on each child. Our Cardston group, called the ‘Haiti Medical Mission’, would like to fundraise for these 30 kids. If you or your organization would be interested in sponsoring a child, please call Chris Sunderland at 403-653-5113 or 403-653-8006 or Les and Deanna Sykes at 403-894-8685 or 403- 653-3035. It is our intent to return to Haiti in October to have a business meeting and to assess how we can< be helping in sponsoring Pastor G a e t a n ’ s children for one year of their education, including tuition and basic needs.

Their school year begins in October. To the left is a picture of Pastor Gaetan and above are two of the children. If you would like to see the other pictures and sponsor a child, please feel free to call Chris, Les or Deanna..

A unique event at Waterton Lakes National Park brought together talented young nature artists, writers, and photographers from both sides of the U.S./Canada border, August 23-27.

Twenty-two young winners of the binational Robert Bateman ‘Get to Know Contest’ travelled from across Canada and the U.S. to attend the Art and Nature camp hosted by Parks Canada.

During the camp, students received instruction from world-renowned wildlife artists Robert Bateman of Canada, and Robert Wyland of the United States, via live videoconferencing.

Art and Nature camp participants, aged 12-18, hiked a wilderness trail that crosses over from Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada into Glacier National Park in the United States.

Together, the two parks form Waterton-Glacier nternational Peace Park, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site since 1995, which was created in 1932, as a symbol of peace and friendship between Canada and the United States.
