As a new fundraiser, I feel truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such knowledgeable and inspiring instructors during the AFP Fundamentals of Fundraising course last week. It was a wonderful experience to explore different areas of fundraising — including donor relations, ethics, storytelling, and stewardship. Most importantly, spending two days with kind and passionate professionals from organizations that work every day to make a positive difference in our communities.

A big thank you to AFP Greater Vancouver Chapter for organizing this wonderful learning experience, and special thanks to my organization, VICCIR, for the constant encouragement and support.

What a journey it’s been! 🙂🥳

On September 5th, 2025, VICCIR marked its 10th Annual General Meeting—and our 10th anniversary! A whole decade of sharing, caring, and supporting immigrants and refugees with open hearts and open arms.

From the very first counselling session to the thousands of smiles, stories, and successes since, every moment has been powered by kindness, compassion, and an incredible team that makes magic happen every day.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s been part of this adventure—our team, our supporters, and the amazing community we serve. Here’s to ten years of making a difference, and to many more years of laughter, love, and support!
