Canada has always been there to help people who need it.

We're asking those who have done well to do a little more for the people who need it.

Just because we can't help everybody, does that mean we should help nobody? And if through helping a few people, the information we present can help many … then I think we are doing our job.

It was not like that. Everyone we took was so grateful. It was so gratifying to help these people in total despair, absolutely at the lowest point in their lives.

If we can get people out here to help us plant as much as possible by May 6 and 15, that would be great because then we can show the surrounding communities that people are still interested in healthy food and using that water to grow that food.

We have to tell people who need help that it's OK to ask for it.
