St. Paul's High School Story

In May 2011 and May 2012 St. Paul’s High School hosted an Awareness Day with the theme of gratitude and service for their grade 9 students.  Humankind International co-founder Muuxi Adam spoke about his childhood in war-torn Somalia, life as a refugee and about gratitude for his new life in Canada. He said “Our lives make no sense if we are not helping others.” He also spoke about Humankind’s initiative to build a school in Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya.  The school donated just over $900 from a “free dress code day” where for $2 students swap their suits for casual clothes.
