World Vision is calling Manitobans very generous.

The humanitarian organization has a gift catalogue which allows Canadians to purchase items for families in developing countries, and last year Manitobans bought over 5,000 items. 

Chris Schroeder, Regional Representative for Manitoba says that include Thompsonites:

"In Thompson over $3200 was given last year through the gift catalogue. The beauty of it, is that in looking at various numbers from across Canada it’s actually a higher percentage per person than I’ve seen in some of the other communities, so that shows me that the people of Thompson fully understand what it is to make a difference".

Items for purchase include livestock, clean water, access to education, and medical supplies.
