KICKOFF= SUCCESS!

Thank you so much for all the people who came out to our DT TO MOB kickoff on Saturday! It was a huge success and we were so glad to have the chance to meet all of you!

For those of you who weren't able to come down, here's a little recap!

We started the day off with some snacks and intros including the ever interesting, Two Truths and A Lie game :)

It was really cool to hear about all the amazing things our (Mob)ilizers have done. We heard about your pet llamas, cloud walks and interviews with the Jonas Brothers as well as got to know this year's MOB Leadership Team better too! 


Next came a visit from 2/3 of our lovely BaseCamp staff! Natasha and Kevin stopped by to talk a little bit about their role at Free The Children and our MOB Village, Llullin Totoras in Ecuador.


After that, our first special guest arrived! Michel Chikwanine, Me To We Speaker and all around inspirational human being stopped by the Me To We Store to greet the DT TO MOB and share a little bit of his story with us. 

Afterwards, we started discussing MOB Calender and all the fantastic things the MOB has planned for this year! We heard some amazing ideas and are super excited about putting them all into action! If you have any ideas you'd like to share with the MOB, please let us know! Shoot us an email at dt.to.mobilizers@gmail.com or post on our Facebook! We want to know what YOU want to do to make a difference! You will also be receiving an email with info about your Core Team and MOB Leads! Be sure to connect with us and let us know your plans! This month we will be organizing events for One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite and Halloween For Hunger! Let us know what YOU want to see happen for these events and let's work together to make them a reality!


After saying goodbye to some of our team, the remaining (Mob)ilizers headed out to the park where we played an intense game of Lava Pit, sharing laughs, smiles...and a few falls. Overall it was a great bonding experience and we had a fantastic time trying to figure out the best way to bring the team across the "lava" :)



Afterwards, although most (Mob)ilizers had left, our second special guest arrived late with gifts of ice cream sandwiches for all! Marc Kielburger dropped by the Store to say how proud he was of all of us and how excited he is to hear about the amazing things DT TO MOB has in the works!

It was a fantastic day and we were so glad to share it with all of you! Thanks to Michel and Marc for stopping by and we can't wait to see you all for One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite!

MUCH MOB LOVE!

-Lindsey, Zoe, Daniela and Gaby
