I vistited Love Cry, a charitable organization, that makes due despite the recession and not having paid workers. Everyone who’s there wants to be there because they were either homeless themselves to start with, or had some first hand experience with abuse or poverty. While this may not be the latest Harry Potter movie, this place weaves a kind of magic that Harry Potter or even David Copperfield himself would appreciate because, at LoveCry, they seem to create something out of nothing. That is, a life where before there was none and a sense of responsibility to the world. If guys like Barack Obama and Stephen Harper owe much of the success of their campaigns to volunteer work, it’s short work to know that charities like Love Cry can benefit even more so.

I will post Part 2 of this fascinating interview tomorrow, so stay tuned!
