For those of you who don't know me. Hello! My name is Erin Deviney and I was initially part of the Global Poverty Project team in Australia and am now thrilled to be starting up GPP Canada.
I'm going to a bit sappy for a minute - a rarity for those that know me. When I made the decision to leave Australia in July to return back to Canada, I felt a bit underwhelmed. I was leaving something truly remarkable behind me.
Less than a week after returning home - the call came in. 'We are coming to Toronto". And the rest is history.
Friday, September 11th marked the beginning of the GPP here in Canada. I arrived at the Danforth Music Hall that morning afraid that it was going to be empty. I left that day energized at what is going to come in 2010.
This is truly going to be a global movement and Canada is going to be a key part of it.
I'm not typically a blogger - I'll get more exciting as I go along. Stay tuned.
One last thing.... if you saw the presentation on September 11th - what did you think?
Sincerely,
GPP Canada
