Here are the faces of three of the young spirits at St. Anselm Catholic School on Bessborough Drive who grew a little today as they took part in a moving exchange by Skype of Valentine messages with 17 children in Uganda. Teacher Michele Whyte organized the assembly and communication in a program called C.H.A.T. to the Future. C.H.A.T. stands for “Care and Hope through Adoption and Technology”. a registered charity started by a teacher in New Brunswick. Ms. Whyte told CTV that St. Anselm’s wants its pupils to become “global learners” and to know about different ways of life. She has arranged other Skype visits by her class to far off places. Students at the school sold candy grams and raised $500 for the 17 orphans who reside at C.H.A.T. House, ages 5 to 17 years, in Uganda. The St. Anselm students sent messages to their Ugandan friends and, as reported by the school’s website, were deeply touched by the stories of their counterparts who live in Uganda.
