You can help to make extraordinary things happen!
2012 is UN Year of Co-ops and Aug 31 was a blue moon. Four career co-operators with more than 100 years experience building credit unions & co-ops did something extraordinary. Co-ops Build a Better World and we wanted to help one-step-at-a-time. It's never too late to support our climb and the Build a Better World Campaign.
Read about the journey we embarked on Aug 25 - Sept 1. Thanks for your support
Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada (CDF) is our Charity of Choice!
Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada (CDF) Our Charity of Choice.
CDF, in partnership with Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA), helps people to work their way out of poverty–we have seen it for ourselves.Like the 440 disabled workers in the Philippines. Their co-op jobs mean the difference between a life of dignity, supporting themselves and their families, and a life of supreme indignity, many begging on the streets to sustain a miserable life of poverty. Last year the funds contributed helped over 2.6 million families in 15 countries. Over the last four years, credit union members in Africa and Asia accumulated $140M in savings and this is fueling economic and social development in the community – development with lasting results with the help of CDF/CCA. Please support us and help these families and their communities. For more information see CCA or CDF

At the base of Kilimanjaro...
Lydia, Jo-Anne, Ingrid (L-R in black T's) and friends, show their love for credit unions a day before they begin the big ascent. One more night at 'normal' elevation!
Glad to see you have cameras in hand - awaiting awesome photos. Cheerio
