VIP Guests John Tory ON PC Party Leader & Aaryn When invited to the Me to We concert as a VIP guest Aaryn Doyle was naturally excited to attend because she knew of the organization’s global commitment to change from a grassroots hands on charitable stand point... Plus Doyle would get the day off school, and she was also aware that other students from her school would be in attendance at the event. But it went deeper than that. There was at least 6 degrees of separation that could not be denied. Doyle, had been acquainted with Me to We, recording artist Louise Kent and her producer Trust, so seeing the finish product and attending the concert was a welcomed privilege. However to be amongst fifteen thousand people strong with the same purpose, the same mindset, and the unifying drive to accomplish change starting with oneself as an accountable individual… “What a rush” says Doyle.

Me to We is a commitment to oneself… And a commitment to the world. What an amazing day. The Me to We concert experience was electrifying and inspiring. With notable guest speakers and performers like Sarah McLaughlin, Mia Farrow, Soul Guy, the Degrassi Kids, Michael Chikwanine former child soldier, Ben Mulroney, Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex, The Canadian Tenors, Me to We founders Marc and Craig Kielburger, and more, sharing their own personal Me to We experiences in an entertaining yet inspirational way, keeping it tied to the universal message of giving back, while other performers sang for the cause. It was moving."

In attendance were people from all walks of life trying to make a difference. Some travelled across borders to be a part of this culturally defining event. That day (October 17th), each and everyone walked away a stronger piece of the puzzle being assembled. Our youths through corporate sponsors, educational organizations and some coming on their own, joined together with their mentors…. But they all gathered together because of the Me to We vision. With a totally selfless goal of trying to heal poverty through giving back and becoming proactive by doing and giving of oneself to those in need. The spirit of the Me to We organization is astoundingly effective, and its charitable deeds are overwhelmingly invigorating, if you partake. Young or old rich or poor you are a part of the solution. If you open your eyes and your heart the possibilities are endless. All it takes is the giving of your-self to cause change and positive growth. The truth is, it begins with Me and extends to We.

Aaryn Doyle & her Me to We generation
Aaryn explained how when she spoke to other youths she could feel a connection to them. Even when she spoke to some of the adults attending, she still feelt the same kind of unifying connection. It was then that she realized that everyone there was willing to role up their sleeves and become more involved even if they were already heavily invested or personally involved. As teens Marc & Craig Kielburger found their “Me to We” moment, and are now effectively making others accountable and responsible for achieving their own personal Me to We connection. An achivement that Aaryn thought was quite remarkable, especially when most people are busy trying to acquire stuff.

Yes, the Me to We movement that Aaryn speaks of is a growing reality that defies borders and class distinction. Yet, it is simply founded on selfless-humanitarian gestures of giving back and in turn making a difference. Then teaching others to do the same through mentoring, so that tomorrow there may be many more Me to We experiences. In the unanimous opinions of Aaryn Doyle and the many other Me to We attendees, the Kielburgers are great humanitarians and role models for the Me to We generation. So why not give the Me to We experience a try? Get involved and give back. Aaryn hopes to continue making greater “Me to We” type connections in the future because she feels it is important to give back.
