Canadian Update

 

 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
