I am a former SLC student now studying at Laval University. Last summer, I lived in Senegal for two months. I met an incredible family, and I am now trying to help people over there. I am thus collecting cans and bottles. I will bring the money with me this summer, as I am returning to Senegal mid-July 2016. All the profits will be donated to the parent association in Lalane-Diassap, a small village of around 370 people, whose goal is to send children to school.
