On Wednesday, we received the most delightful letter from 7-year-old Sam Ng and his mother, Franzi.
Sam had been inspired by the pink breast cancer ribbons and other similar campaigns and decided to create his own colour and design of ribbon.
What he came up with was a beautiful, multi-coloured ribbon. As a member of the
Bahá'í Faith, Sam wanted the ribbons to foster religious tolerance among his fellow Canadians. He sold the ribbons and the sign on his box read:
By wearing this ribbon, I pledge to respect people of all faiths and religions.
Below that it said that the donations for the ribbons would go to Seva Canada.
Sam took his box everywhere he went. At times it took a lot of courage for him to approach strangers and ask them to buy and wear one of his ribbons. But he persisted.

We at Seva Canada think Sam is marvelous and we hope you do too. Please comment on this post and send Sam a message of support for his amazing dedication and kindness.
Thank you, Sam!
