Katherine Toner-Muzey

Katherine is an articled law Clerk with Stewart McKelvey. In April of 2008 she visited Ethiopia with her husbanYemane Muzey.  They brought school supplies for the kids at Zorat that had been donated by family and friends in Canada.  She was truly inspired by the kids at Zorat.  They were so incredibly appreciative of the gifts that they had brought.  Their smiles were priceless.  She was also amazed by how far a dollar can be stretched in Ethiopia; a child can have a new uniform for only $10, that's less than we would pay here for a single admission at a movie theatre.  Katherine is determined to continue fundraising for Zorat school here in Canada and is looking forward to her next visit to Ethiopia.
