I am a 5th generation farmer in Caledon. I have a dairy/cash crop operation in partnership with my son, brother and nephew.
My father, David Armstrong was a founding member of S.H.A.R.E. I am happy to be able to follow in his footsteps and become a Volunteer with S.H.A.R.E. and become a team member on the Donor Relations and Sponsorship Committee. S.H.A.R.E. Agriculture Foundation has been a part of my life since I was young and I’m excited to help with Its continued success.
Growing up I saw two different worlds, and this shaped a desire to help the most vulnerable.
As a 40+ year donor I’ve supported S.H.A.R.E.'s practical and effective projects that help people help themselves.
During a monitoring trip to Brazil, I saw first-hand a project which had been funded 13 years earlier that was still benefitting from the pass-on-principle.
Following my retirement from teaching, I assisted my husband Les in doing S.H.A.R.E.’s project management.
I became involved with S.H.A.R.E. in 2021 while they were making significant advances in their presence online.
