Help Wanted!

Volunteering can improve the lives of others...and it's great for your mind, body and soul. Several years ago, one of my doctors suggested that I find some volunteer work to do. At the time, I was trying to come to terms with having an acquired brain injury and the limitations that it presented both physically and mentally. I had loved my job and to be told that I could not work again was extremely difficult. My doctor believed that volunteering would offer me a purpose and help me to contribute to society in a meaningful way.

The Rewards of Giving

Three of the organizers of Vacation for Vision (from left), Fred Stam, Avril Rinn and Terry Hoddinott, at the school for blind students they visited in Cuba Last February, while a snowstorm raged back home in south- western Ontario, I was sweating profusely in shorts and a T-shirt in Holguin, Cuba. I wasn’t hanging out at the beach, though – I was sitting on a child-sized chair in the atrium of a home that had been converted into a school for blind children. While trucks roared by outside and the odour of diesel fuel drifted in through the windows, the young students enthusiastically performed a play for their delighted guests.

Important Survey on End of Life Services for People with Disabilities
The Canadian Abilities Foundation (CAF) is supporting Hospice Toronto in an initiative known as the Transitions Project. The objective is to help gain a greater understanding of the needs of people with disabilities as they deal with end of life issues. Hospice Toronto is inviting people with disabilities and those who care for them from across Canada to participate in the survey. Your point of view is needed and would be very much appreciated.
