Your Impact in Numbers
“We meet our neighbours where they are at, while providing opportunities for us all to learn together – to gather, grow and build a spirit of Community! Sowing the seed in children of a culture of healthy eating is very important.“
“I rejoice at the impact this one hour a week has on my life. I learn about exotic foods; share in stories of elation and despair, courage and humour; experience new cultures, traditions, and customs. I was able to meet people I care about, and want to spend time with. Connection. A word to sum up the mutual impact between myself as a Kits House volunteer, and the community of beginners English conversationalists.”
