Al Wigood goes Hollywood!
World Accord Volunteer, Al Wigood, is in the news again!
Wednesday, August 30, 2006, a crew from Global National filmed Al Wigood and two students (Heather and Lauren) from KCI Secondary School in Kitchener, for a segment called "Everyday Heroes". The focus was on Al and the Construction Expeditions he helps organize in Central America every year.
Though Al claims he's not really a hero (and we've never seen him in tights and a cape) we know better. There are students in Honduras who have real schools to attend rather than having to sit under a tree... families with concrete homes and concrete floors for babies to crawl on rather than mud floors... community centers to help bring communities together... dormitories and offices for organizations in Guatemala to offer business and language training to women... a school for children who can't afford an education or for their parents who want to learn to read so they can read their paychecks in El Salvador... To all the people whose lives he has helped improve, he is a hero.
Thank you Al! And thank you to all who have joined or supported him in this journey!!
