T-shirt fundraiser for refugee sponsorship

Gordon Head refugee sponsorship group selling t-shirt featuring Dr. Henry’s “Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe” motto in English, Lekwungen, French, Chinese and Arabic.

Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe – our BC motto for 2020 and beyond. 

The Gherkins are selling t shirts and totes to raise funds for our next refugee sponsorship.

Gherkin volunteers (l-r) Joni, Pam, Monika & Katharine in our awesome multilingual shirts!

The t-shirt features Dr. Henry’s “Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe” motto in English, Lekwungen, French,  Chinese and Arabic.  We believe Dr. Henry’s motto reflects a strong belief in the value and importance of care and compassion for our fellow humans.
