Recently, Marvin Prashad told us his inspiring story. As a teen he fled the United States in search of a way out of poverty with criminal elements trying to pull him down. Marvin told us of his journey from abuse and poverty to successful business owner and through strength, determination and iron will, he built a life for himself in Toronto against all odds. Today Marvin is husband, father and the owner, operator and head instructor at Dragonz Martial Arts Studio and an active member of the East Toronto Community. Thank you for sharing!
Our speaker last week was David Lockett, a member of the Rotary E-Club of Social Innovators D7090 and co-founder of the award-winning charity, PACT (Participation, Acknowledgement, Commitment and Transformation) Urban Peace Program which was featured in the April 2019 editions of The Rotarian and Rotary Canada magazines. PACT works with young offenders and other at-risk youth who may benefit from its intensive life-coaching regimen. PACT pairs each participant with a life coach for 12-18 months where they can also learn practical skills and pursue creative interests. More than 25 Toronto area clubs support PACT financially and/or by volunteering as mentors. Thank you for informing us on the great work you do!
