“We felt a strong connection to Pink Shirt Day campaign,” says Darbi. “There are kids in our mentor programs who have or will deal with bullying in their lives. We want to teach kids that the world is a beautiful place, no matter where you are from; we teach them that being kind is you being the best version of yourself.”
