Y2Y

Throughout our tour, Dara and I have been raising money for a youth group in Pelican Narrows.

I’ve been learning lots about the second largest First Nation in Saskatchewan. It's a challenging place to live with high rates of addiction and unemployment. At the same time, it is a geographically beautiful place to live and there is so much potential among the people.

One hopeful thing is a youth group, started by a young girl who wants to make a difference in her community. There are about 5 regulars in this youth group now, holding regular activities and trying to be a light. The group is called Y2Y: Youth 2 Youth.

Dara and I are donating $4 from each CD sold for Y2Y.

Y2Y has a dream of attending a youth retreat. They have never done anything like this. Please pray for us and for Y2Y as we raise money and as we network to find just the right retreat for these young people to attend.
