The Sleeping Children Around The World charity had its’ chair, former NHL goalie Dave Dryden, in Listowel at Trinity United Church on Sunday.
Dryden explained the goal of the charity is sending custom bed kits to poverty-stricken countries world-wide.
Dryden highlighted some of the 9 current countries they service, including Uganda and Honduras, and about the impact it has in those areas.
"Over the course of the years we've actually gone to 33 different countries," he says, "but right now the nine that we are with, we visit once a year. You talk to especially the teachers and the parents and you realize they are really having an impact on the children."
