After a great time at We Day Toronto a few weeks ago (which will be aired on Much Music November 11th at 7pm for all those who want to relive the magic), our Toronto MOB team joined together on October 13th ready and motivated to start the year off right!
After some brief introductions our outdoor location got a tad too cold and rainy for our MOB, but innovation is always a sign of leadership and we were able to find an alternate (warmer) location to discuss communication rules, the Adopt A Village model (which you can find at http://www.freethechildren.com/international-programming/our-model/), plans for the year and our main fundraising goal: A water project in Llullin Totoras, Ecuador!
This has been our MOB Village for several years now and this summer Alice and Daniela got the chance to work on putting the money MOBs across Canada and the USA have raised to work building the second floor on another new school building. However, they also saw the need for improved water and sanitation in the village and we're all super excited to work to make that a reality!
After sharing ideas about the year's campaigns and events, Alex and Asha led the group in an awesome jam session as we shared munchies and got to know each other better!

Looking forward to a great year with the Toronto MOBilizers of 2012-2013! We'll see you later this month for our first campaign WE SCARE HUNGER! Be sure to watch your emails, the blog, Twitter and Facebook for more details!
MAD MOB LOVIN!
