A Word of Thanks….

March 29, 2017 Posted in Blog Posts

Is joy a sign of generosity (as said Mother Teresa) or, is generosity a sign of joy?

Whatever the case, generosity was shining joyfully on Saturday March 11^th at Drake Medox College in Vancouver! Students, Instructors and Administrative Staff contributed funds far beyond initial hopes and goals.

A Bake Sale fund raiser yielded $600.00. This amount will be tripled by the Canadian government which translates to a grand total of $1800.00!!

The Cause?

Maternal and Child Health in Africa through World Vision Canada programs.

How will the money be used?

This money will be allocated to needy communities in a number of African countries – Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sudan, and others – to the cause of improving maternal and child health through the further development of

Accessible clinics
Community outreach programs
Nutrition and hygiene education
Assisted birthing
Pre and Post-Natal care
Awareness education: signs & symptoms of illness, sexual health
Availability of Medication
Modernization of Healthcare facilities

We thank the students and staff from Drake Medox College from the bottom of our hearts!

EMPLOYER TESTIMONIAL

“We highly regard Community Support Work related schooling/credentials when making hiring decisions. The schooling indicates to us that applicants have some systematic training in the field and are passionate about quality care; this means they are likely to be high performers and stay longer because they fully understand what the job involves. Retention is a huge consideration, those that are likely to stay longer will always be highly sought after as it takes time to build working relationships and relationships with person served.”

It was great to speak with their buddies because they all had such positive feedback, and really enjoyed working with the students. We really enjoy having the students here, and we look forward to working with you more in the future!”

Success Story

Through my own personal experience I believe I am able to give to others the level of care, compassion and love that was bestowed upon me during my time of need. Drake Medox College has provided me with the greatest opportunity through their Community Support Worker program, with being able 'pay it forward ' and make a difference in this world. Life is about touching the lives of people around us no matter who they are or where they have come from.
