BCDD Volunteer Featured in the News

Nitin Gandhi is a 25 year-old fellow who moved to Vancouver from New Delhi, India a few years ago. Back in January he responded to an ad I posted in the Ride Share section of Craiglist Vancouver. At first I thought he misunderstood what I was saying and believed that we were hiring for the position. But after our first conversation, I realized that he knew it was a completely volunteer gig. And he has been absolutely great ever since, driving to Merritt, Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops, and Lillooet ... all on his own dime. Pretty amazing! The South Asian Post newspaper has just written a story about Nitin's efforts.
