Glenmore Elementary Cares!
On March 4th, grade four students at Glenmore Elementary in Kelowna held a Used Toy Sale with proceeds to several charities -- including Niteo.
The toys, most of which were donated by students at the school, were sold for $1 each. Some "big ticket" items -- including a three-foot tall stuffed pug -- were raffled off with tickets selling for two for $1. The sale lasted from 9am to 4pm and while some members of the public came after school, most of the toys were sold to students at the school.
In total, the students raised $1827. Proceeds will benefit local charities, projects of the Glenmore Cares Club (who sorted and organized all the toys over a month-long collection period) and Niteo.
Niteo wishes to once again thank the students and staff of Glenmore for their efforts.

Team Building Begins!
It's an exciting time for us. This weekend our team leaders will gather in a secret location (okay, it's my kitchen) to look over the applications for this years' team.
We are buoyed and excited by the interest we have received in this project.
We humbly thank all of the people who have offered to come to Uganda this year and make a difference in the lives of children and adults alike.
We also humbly thank the spouses, children, family members, friends and workmates of our team members. You will make many sacrifices so that your loved one can come to help, and your support and generosity of spirit is very appreciated.
Thank you!
