Welcome to our website


I hope you will be filled with hope, wonder, inspiration, and courage as you browse these pages and read about our projects. Add Your Light sponsors are the backbone of this work and I thank every one of you who has made a difference in the lives of our Dominican, Haitian and Cuban brothers and sisters. If you are not already a sponsor, I invite you to make the commitment and get involved. Add Your Light is a small, efficient, and accountable charity with the power to change many lives for the better.


I have been raised in the Christian tradition (United Church of Canada) and believe deeply in the words from Micah 6:8, "He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Holy Bible, RSV).


No matter what our faith traditions are, I believe that we all yearn, deep down inside, to live up to this kind of message. No matter what your faith tradition is, you are welcome here. You are invited - and challenged - to add your light to the sum of light.
