2020 Initiatives

It’s a new year and a new decade. We have some exciting new initiatives for 2020. Life is still very difficult for our friends in Belarus and we hope that one of the following of our plans and dreams for the upcoming year grabs your attention. If it does, we would love your help, just click on the “Donate Now” button on the right side of the webpage to donate through CanadaHelps or the PayPal donate button to use PayPal. In either case, you will get a Canadian tax receipt.

Thank you all for your past support and we look forward to posting updates as the year progresses.
