CLEAN WATER PROJECT IN KENYA
Over the past two years FTC raised, with the support of the Fern community, $5000.00 for a clean water project in Kenya. The money has been put toward a $100,000 Bore Hole in Eore Wuaso.

YOUTH HOMELESSNESS
For our local initiative, FTC has decided to support youth homelessness. After researching different youth shelters in Toronto, the students have decided to support the Light Patrol, as described below.
We are currently planning our first event in support of Light Patrol.
Light Patrol is an outreach program of Youth Unlimited (Toronto YFC) that responds to the needs of Toronto’s homeless and street-involved youth. Since 2001, Light Patrol has been assisting and guiding these vulnerable young people, helping them transition away from the destructive elements of Toronto’s street life.
