If you want to make God laugh, MAKE PLANS!!!

That’s one of Shelley-Ann’s favorite quotes because in all of her planning, things just didn’t always work out the way she ‘planned’. She planned to be in Haiti for her entire trip but God laughed, he had other plans. I mean other amazing plans where she is able to do things in a way that she might not have been able to had she gone directly to Haiti.

I have to step back and say that during her planning, her Pastor at her home church, Grace Apostolic Church decided to honour her with a fabulous celebration dinner!! Every penny raised at the event went directly to her. What fun!! We met new people, saw old friends and had a great time. Shelley-Ann spoke briefly and sang about God’s grace and how it has no measure and his love has no limit – the banquet hall was electrified and the call for an encore was loud and clear.

Thank You Grace for helping Shelley-Ann. She also had corporate support from several companies as well as friends and family who supported her financially and took the time to share in the celebration.

Special thanks to Naz Sukhram of Uniglobe Key who donated Shelley-Ann’s return airfare. Uniglobe key specializes in corporate travel but if you're booking a cruise or a vacation, I'm sure he would be able to provide a good quote - (416) 665-9063.

When asked why he decided to help Shelley-Ann, he commented that “I am happy when kids are making progress and I always make these contributions to encourage youths to aim high and achieve Excellency.”   Thanks Naz!
