12 year old girl raises $1,000 for local Indigenous workshops
Kaet Lynn Wells, a 12 year old girl in Osgoode, Ontario, has recently raised $1,000 selling painted shirts for Orange Shirt Day.
Orange Shirt Day, known also as the “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” is recognized every year on Sept. 30, and commemorates the history of residential schools in Canada, survivors and families and communities.
With this money, she plans on adding Indigenous workshops to the Osgoode Youth Association for those in her community looking to get in touch or simply learn more about Indigenous culture.
To hear how she fundraised the money and more about her story, listen to 95.7 ELMNT FM interview with Kate Lynn.
