Access Education - Guatemala Children's Fund provides funding for children to attend elementary school in the Village of La Union. La Union's children and parents are largely illiterate. The school has 800 children registered yet there are more than 2000 more children that don't attend. We are interested in empowering these children through education so they have more choices in their lives. Access Education provides the requisite uniform, books and the entrance fee. For $75.00 per year a child has the chance to be free and autonomous. Illiteracy makes everyone dependant on the few. Illiteracy is slavery. We want to change this 'One person at a time - One Village at a time.'

Calgary Police Service Constable John Petropoulos passed away in the line of duty on Sept. 29, 2000. John was investigating a break and enter complaint when he stepped through a false ceiling, fell nine feet into the lunchroom below and succumbed to brain injuries. There was no safety railing to warn him of the danger. He was 32. After his death, several of John’s recruit classmates set up the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund (JPMF) and raised monies through the sale of memorial pins to fellow officers. Subsequent pin sales, grants, fundraisers and ongoing donations continue to sustain the Fund. Our safety initiatives offer people tangible tips they can implement in their workplaces and on the roads to help ensure emergency responders make it home safely to their families after every shift.
