Project Blue Hands remained inspired to raise funds for PFC foundation after many years. This was their 5th Give Thanks Day collaborating with PFC DAY.
Along with the live music of local artists, we gathered on a beautiful Sunday, with perfect weather and a very motivated team of volunteers. A community celebration in the spirit of creating harmony amongst people from all walks of life. #GiveThanksDay has always been a day to remember how far a simple act of kindness can reach. It is a day where we all aspire to inspire youth philanthropy while bridging the gap between the marginalized and privileged communities.
I would like to thank Eric from Kuppa Foundation for reaching out and inviting me to cover the event and spread awareness about their foundations. On a day like this, I get reminded of how lucky I got in life, and how some people haven’t and they can struggle in places where I don’t even think about, with problems I’m not familiar with. It’s important to acknowledge how some residents of Vancouver, even though homeless deserve a chance too.
Eric and Coco were kind enough to organize free dental check-ups, hot meals all day, OD emergency training, free haircuts, clothing, and many more little things that we tend to take for granted in everyday life.
I feel honoured for being a part of something different this Sunday.

More about Alenka
“My name is Alenka and I’m a Squamish based photographer. I love using my medium to capture sports, adventures, underwater shots, adventures in the mountains and days on snow! Very simply put, I’m one stoked girl, ready to get up at 2 in the morning and hike for sunrise, go to the airport and take a random flight…you name it!
Photography, web design and digital marketing have been things I’m proud to call my job lately! Very flexible, lots of traveling and even more adventures than when I was a kid. Here, on my website I share tips on photography, spreading awareness about the zero-waste lifestyle and sustainability and crazy stories from my travels. Welcome.”
