The importance of water: visiting the London-Middlesex Children’s Water Festival
From the 14th until the 17th of May, kids in our community could visit the Children’s Water Festival at Fanshawe Conservation Area. It is a fun and educational event for students in grades 2 through 5 to learn about the importance of water in their daily lives.
Good Neighbors Canada was at the event to see how youth is learning about water and the environment. There are many activities focused on showing children how water is filtered, how floods can be prevented and how some people struggle to have access to water.

Tween Council gets a first look at our Hope Letter campaign
Last Wednesday we met with the Tween Council at the London Children’s Museum to tell them about our Hope Letter campaign and the 2019 release, featuring Mina Akter (9), from Bangladesh.
The group, between the ages of 9 and 12, meets once a month to voice their opinions on museum exhibits and community events. They watched Mina’s story on our YouTube channel and were amazed with the fact that her family only earns 70 cents a day while working full-time.

Another cyclone heads towards Mozambique
It has been less than a month that Cyclone Idai killed over 1,000 people in the region and now there is a storm threatening to make matters worse. With about 83 km/h winds so far, Cyclone Kenneth is expected to strengthen in the next days.
In the aftermath of Cyclone Idai, the estimate is that only 30 percent of the population was reached, meaning there are still 1.8 million people in need of assistance.
Cyclone Idai aftermath crisis
Good Neighbors has an emergency relief team on-site to assist survivors of Cyclone Idai. Aid workers are struggling to reach victims due to the catastrophic amount of wreckage and submerged areas.
To most people, humanitarian aid is the only option. We are asking for donations to help with food, medical supplies and shelter.
There is something you can do to help. Please, donate today.
We want to hear from you
Spring is here! The season change will bring color and warmth to our lives. Good Neighbors Canada believes in positive change, and has a survey up to find out how to create change that for as many people as we can, all over the world.
Of course, we want to hear back from our community and know how you picture transformation. It’s your input that will steer us the right way, so we can make a bigger difference!
