Essay Impacts many in York Region

Sofia Vavaroutos will tell you that a home is more than just brick, stone, mud, straw, snow, ice or wood. Sofia will also tell you that a home isn't something that you should want - it is something that you deserve. Sofia was a runner-up in the Genworth Financial "Meaning of Home"contest and won $5,000 which she has donated to Habitat York Region to help build two homes in Keswick. Her essay has been read to members of the Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park as well as to members of the Council at the City of Vaughan. If you would like to hear the rest of Sofia's essay, come to the 2012 Summer Social. Sofia would love to have you join her in making a difference for families in her community, too!
