This Holiday Season Make a Difference in a Child’s Life
As the year comes to an end we are reminded of how fortunate we are. But not everyone can say the same. Two thirds of adults in the world have assets worth less than $10,000.1 and world poverty is felt most severely by the very young, and further compounded by War.
Medical Marijuana does so much to help children suffering from disease and illnesses like cancer, and epilepsy. Here is an opportunity to do a little bit more.
I am fortunate to call the founders of War Child Canada my friends. I know the passion and personal commitment they make to do whatever possible to help the innocent victims of war. As medical doctors and humanitarians they are deeply concerned with health and wellness.
By providing access to education, opportunity and justice, War Child gives children in war-affected communities the chance to reclaim their childhood and break the cycle of poverty and violence.2
So this holiday season, consider a gift to War Child, and help mothers and their children. As an added bonus this year, your donation will be matched, but this opportunity expires December 31. So act now! Last year 425,000 people were helped thanks to generous donors like you, and so much more can be done.
Your donations give a child in a war zone the opportunity to know childhood.

Leigh Coulter is the President of GGS Structures Inc. a leading greenhouse manufacturer with sales worldwide. Leigh holds a degree in business from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, and she has been asked to speak at numerous events regarding manufacturing and business development. GGS manufactures greenhouses for all crops, as well as manufacturing fabric covered buildings. After years of working with cannabis growers to improve medical marijuana cultivation technologies, and as part of the company’s strategic development in 2013 Leigh established a division within the company dedicated to the emerging legal cannabis industry, and as such GGS is on the forefront of the movement. As part of this division new people were brought into the company to expand the company’s knowledge in indoor controlled agriculture cultivation (CEA) as well. GGS was the first greenhouse manufacturer worldwide to actively promote cannabis cultivation in greenhouses through their website, brochures, and in the media. Leigh believes passionately in “doing the right thing” and that supporting people’s rights to choose how they take care of their bodies is fundamentally “the right thing”. Working with cannabis growers all over the world she has developed the utmost respect for people who want to perfect their craft, and grow their best plants, and everyone on the GGS team is delighted to be part of that mission.
