We received a note today from a volunteer who was recently at La Citadelle and wrote to tell us what a great experience she had. In fact, she said it was an experience she will never forget. We’d like to share her comments:
“All of the people I met were so nice and friendly and I got to meet and get to know a lot of new friends. All my prospects became true, I could improve my English and learned a lot for myself. I would always do this internship again and I really miss everybody there, especially the kids. And thank you for all your help. It was good to know that there would be a contact partner, if I needed somebody.”
Red Leaf is proud to share our volunteers’ experiences and would like to extend our thanks to all of the wonderful students who have stayed with us while volunteering in Canada.
