"Children are resilient. Children are agents of change and peace. There is no more strategic and economically beneficial way to invest in long-term peace than providing timely, adequate, predictable and sustainable reintegration support to children formerly associated with armed forces and armed groups. These children are a strategic cohort for long-term peace and security. If we succeed in an annual doubling of children released and reintegrated and halving those recruited, we will soon significantly reduce the use and abuse of children for, by and in armed conflict,” concluded Ms. Virginia Gamba."
Championing Borneo’s gentle giants: The woman behind Sabah’s elephant conservation
"Her passion gave rise to Seratu Aatai – meaning “united in heart” in the local Sungai language – the only NGO in Sabah dedicated exclusively to Bornean elephant conservation. Founded in 2018, the group now works closely with communities in the Lower Kinabatangan region, over 300 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, where the rainforest still supports orangutans, sun bears and the endangered proboscis monkey."
In Support of Heart and Stroke Canada
Did you know that every five minutes, someone in Canada dies from heart disease, stroke, and vascular cognitive impairment?
More than 3.5 million people across Canada of all ages, ethnicities and genders are living with these conditions, but we are on the verge of significant breakthroughs and YOUR donation can help make them happen.
That’s why I’m fundraising for the 5th year in the 2025 Heart & Stroke Ride for Heart throughout the month of June, by getting active in support of critical heart disease and stroke research.
You can make a difference, too! By donating, you’re funding the next big breakthrough, fueling the scientific discovery and collaborations needed to save lives. All donations will be matched until the end of June - this means 2x the impact!
Please donate and help us put Heart & Stroke research on the fast track. Together, we’ll beat heart disease and stroke - every beat counts.
