Todays's Empty Bowls at St Mildred's Lightbourn School in Oakville was astonishing in so many respects.

There was an overwhelming number of people who came out to support the event as well as sponsors. The engagement of the school was a stroke of genius. Here is an interview with Dorothy Byers the headmistress describing why this was important to the school and how the kids became engaged. I have more video and more photos to post. The kids busked in the corridors, painted bowls, created mock-up cardboard shelters and plaques describing a homeless person's story and facts about homelessness in Halton. The local MP also attended. Congratulations to the school and the vast organisation from the Home Suite Hope organisation and planning committee. Spectacular event.
