‪Great support from Ed Centre staff who were able to #CramACruiser in support of @hamiltonfoodshare and in partnership with @hamiltonpoliceontario. ‬This campaign inspires kindness throughout communities by filling food banks for the summer; a time when they are usually empty. ‬
Anne Frank would have turned 90 this year. Old enough to be a great-grandmother. Young enough to turn her pen to global affairs, or the summer crush of tourists in Amsterdam. She could have shared wisdom from a long life… rather than just the 15 years she survived. Perhaps the world’s most famous diarist, Anne Frank’s story is a heart-breaking, personal account of hiding in Nazi-occupied Holland. This week, a man who knows more about Anne than most is visiting Hamilton schools to talk about the life, lessons and legacy of a girl who never had a chance to grow old. “Eight, six and 761 – those are the three numbers that tell Anne’s story,” said Menno Metselaar, a project manager who has been working at the Anne Frank House since 1990. Metselaar is on a North American book tour that includes Los Angeles, New York, Ottawa, Toronto and, of course, Hamilton. He will present to about 2,000 HWDSB students this week, including a large event at Nora Frances Henderson secondary for staff. Read more: bit.ly/2JjZ2Oc
