This past weekend marked a truly memorable occasion for H.E.A.L. International as we had the honor of welcoming His Worship, Basaiji Steven from Uganda, and our Honourary Patron, the Honourable Salma Lakhani, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.
Steven is currently a magistrate in Uganda and, as an orphan, was supported by HEAL so he could attend school. He continued to receive support through HEAL and ultimately graduated with a degree in Law, practiced law, and recently was appointed a magistrate (judge) before the age of 30. Meeting him reinforced that the efforts of a few can help change the world.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our guests for taking the time to meet with our board members and volunteers. To all our dedicated volunteers and supporters, we express our heartfelt appreciation for your efforts and commitment to our cause. It is through your hard work and contributions that we can continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable and orphaned children.
Together, we stand united in our pursuit of a brighter, more equitable future for all.

- HEAL is honoured to announce that Her Honour, the Honourable Salma Lakhani, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, has accepted to become an Honourary Patron of our organization.
Her Honour was installed as Alberta's 19th Lieutenant Governor on August 26, 2020. Her longstanding service as a community leader and volunteer has been guided by her deep commitment to the values of pluralism and inclusion and her dedication to championing those who face barriers in life.
Find out more about the Honourable Salma Lakhani.
March 2023
- St. Lawrence School has been doing so well that enrollment has increased far more than anticipated. This year 220 students have enrolled instead of our anticipated 170. That's a 30% increase! The reputation of St. Lawrence is becoming widely known and students are traveling further to attend our school. Please help to support these eager-to-learn students by clicking the DONATE button.

Volunteer Salutes
H.E.A.L. International is fortunate to have a cadre of volunteers that donate time, expertise and friend-raising abilities to the organization. Whether they are occasional/episodic, online, time contributors (e.g. student interns), groups that volunteer as a unit, advisory council and other high-level volunteers or the board, H.E.A.L. International would not be able to achieve our positive outcomes without their contributions.
In honour of our volunteers, we established an annual Report on Volunteers to ensure our volunteers are visible, recognized and celebrated.
