Hi there ! What a lovely reminder !
I used to volunteer at a local Animal Shelter in Sarnia, Ontario , Canada , at The Annual Harvest Jazz and Blues in Fredericton New Brunswick, Canada and with the Elderly in Sarnia, Ontario Canada! What a great reminder of 1) How important it is to give back, 2) how much it means to another or a furry friend to have someone give their undivided time, I mean phones off y’all! And 3) the feeling of joy, contentment and happiness it creates within our soul ! I must get back to it ! I have always had a heart towards newcomers to Canada! I can only somewhat imagine how frightening it must be to settle in a foreign country where you may or may not know the language , are possibly running from oppression, civil war, political oppression etc, not knowing one person in your new country and having little or no supports in place! This is where my heart lies and I hope to find a way to help others coming to Canada ! Should anyone have suggestions as to how I can help even from home somehow, I Would live to learn more !! Please continue to share how y’all have volunteered ! I love hearing about the good works of others. Peace love and Joy ! Always! Jenny
