"Volunteering to teach English has been a wonderful experience. It has widened my world during this time of the pandemic. Getting to know people from other parts of the world has been a privilege."

"Working with these lovely young adults in developing their English communication skills has been a wonderful, enriching experience. Encouraging them through the challenges, celebrating with them in their progress, and learning from them along the way, is a real privilege. Their English will be better than mine soon!"

"I was one of several volunteers involved in soliciting, collecting and delivering donated kitchen goods and bedding, and sorting and installing these. Two descriptive words would be exciting and community-building. The lines between giving and receiving were truly blurred!"
"After it was no longer possible to meet in their home due to Covid, two of us have enjoyed weekly sessions on zoom. We have a language practice worksheet which opens up discussion too and this often leads to laughter. One of the sons also enjoys walking with me and my dog."
