Author: Christina - Published 2007-09-13 00:02 - (2021 Reads)

Cheryl Anne Neill passed away on Sept. 5 after a brief illness.

From her Obituary published this past Saturday in the Gazette:
"...Artist, musician, playwright, poet, storyteller, teacher. Cheryl played a vital role in the arts community and in education. Friend and mentor to many, she was passionate in her encouragement of others to reach their potential. Fiercely determined, she believed in the power of the individual to bring about change. A gathering of Cheryl's friend will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 3pm at Adair Hall, 24 Maple Ave. Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. In lieu of flowers, anyone who shared in the joy of Cheryl's life is encouraged to support the arts, write a poem, sing a song, dance until it feels good.

"You gotta put one foot in front of the other
One step could change it all
Ramble all over - no matter where you wander...
You're walkin to find who you are"

COME PARTICIPATE IN OUR FIRST PYRAMID OF SHOES! Saturday, September 8, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-09-01 17:56 - (2308 Reads)

COME PARTICIPATE IN OUR FIRST PYRAMID OF SHOES!

Since1995, French and European citizens have gathered annually in over 40 cities in order to create a Pyramid of shoes as a sign of protest against the use of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. It is also a symbolic expression of solidarity with all the victims of these weapons and an opportunity to ask the public to sign a petition for the establishment of an international treaty against the use of cluster munitions.

Get involved right now by becoming a volunteer or by sponsoring the event, but most of all, do not forget to bring lots of shoes! The shoes will be recuperated by Certex, a non-profit organization whose mission is both environmental (recuperation/recycling of clothing sent to low income countries) and social (over 60% of its employees are people with disabilities).

This is stunning writing. It is powerful and emotional, really and truly gripping stuff. It offers a real insight into how people cope in such terrible conditions and what it must be like to have to endure them. The tension is palpable and for that alone the author is to be commended. WN-England
