On AUGUST 25, 2010 OPERATION SOCK MONKEY WESTERN DIVISION was honored to connect with Intersections Media in creating a window display with 100+ monkeys made by community members and youth. The display is at District 319/Intersections (319 Main Street) in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The result is magical!

CJ is the official Sound Therapy Radio mascot. Originally donated by Kat Thorsen and Hannah Pettinato on a past show. We have adopted her and taken her in with open arms. CJ is just figuring her way around the studio now. - Jay Peachy

The Clowns have been working orphans and vulnerable children and their guardians in partnership with the Khuphuka Project in Umqatsheni, KwaZulu-Natal. “We are telling stories, practicing mindfulness, and playing games as we explore ways of connecting through play and creativity for orphans and their guardians affected by HIV/AIDS… Project Siyazisiza (Helping Ourselves) and Project Siyajabula (We are Happy) focuses on providing children and guardians affected by HIV/AIDS with the opportunity to reawaken to joy and happiness while finding the means to cope with stress and challenges in life.” Our sock monkeys are used in the therapeutic process!
