Toonies for
Tots in Canada

and
when it's got some Toonies in there, send
us an email and we will let you know how
Your
Change
can Help Change the World!
This idea
thanks to Liz Flinn, our Sponsor Liaison

as many of you know,
is from north of the border. Print

Helping Guatemala
June
2011: The outcome of
our first USA
tour(Amount raised
$6,500)
Our
first fundraiser tour was most successful. Presentations were given in 5
cities to over 100 people in both public events
and
private meetings. The outpouring of support was truly amazing! Donations continue to arrive.
We connected with 3 new long-term sponsors, 2 supporters for our solar
projects, and 30 donors for our Integral Education
Program
and Emergency/General needs fund. Debora and I donated the price of the
flights, so the cost of this trip was 9%
of the total raised.
We
would like to express our deepest thanks to those who helped up put the
events together: Jon & Nicole of Samadhi Yoga
Center,
Ted Saad of Integral Boston, Kenzo An & Jeff Carriera of EnlightenNext,
Alan Quinn & Jessica Miller, Osiris & Nina
and Linus Roche (of EnlightenNext) in NYC, The Haggart Family in Boulder, Colorado, and
Adam Richards and Laurel Smith
in Houston Texas.
May 2011: Our
first Fundraising
Tour
Humanitarian,
Author, and Former NYC Serial Entrepreneur Mick Quinn
speaks of his current work in Guatemala:
Mick Quinn emigrated from Ireland to the U.S.A. in
1986. After Mick received his residency papers in '93, he moved to
New York City where he co-founded a few technology start-ups, an
import/export company, and a business coaching
practice. Following the events of 9/11, he decided to give up his pursuit
of the American Dream and he moved to rural
northern Portugal, where he subsequently met his wife Debora, and wrote
and published an Amazon bestseller called
The Uncommon Path. After the release of the book, a vacation in
Guatemala led Mick and Debora to relocate there
and to start a humanitarian organization called The Integral Heart
Foundation.
