Burnaby, BC - REALTOR® Yvonne Conner of Sutton - Centre Realty has a dream to help 40 vulnerable children in the African village of Sabga to receive an education and enjoy a brighter future. Yvonne has placed a jar full of coffee beans in her office and is inviting people to guess the number of beans by donation. Participants have a chance to win one of three luxurious prizes including four nights accommodation at a chalet at Silver Star Resort in Vernon for up to 14 people, and two spa treatments at Beauty In Motion in Vancouver.

"I have wanted to do something that would give back to my community or one that was more impoverished," says Yvonne. She was motivated to help this group of children through a series of inspirations. A friend had recently returned from teaching in Cameroon and a visit to Sabga where she saw the heartbreaking living conditions. As well, Bill Clinton's book, Giving, explains how people can donate through non-governmental organizations (NGO) that have no administrative fees and target specific grassroots projects. "People are frustrated with the lack of government help that is needed for so many people in different situations around the world," she says.
