Local ALSO Groups Prepare for the Week Ahead

The students traveling within Canada for ALSO week continue to prepare for the week ahead.  Student's are gathering sleeping bags, work boots, and other personal items as they get ready to work and serve in Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Calgary.  "I'm really looking forward to experiencing the overnight on the streets in downtown Calgary," said grade 12 student Luke Pomedli.  "This makes it real...you're really there.  It's something to talk about it, but actually being their is the real story."  During ALSO week students will have the opportunity to learn about poverty in Canadian cities first hand.
