On Thursday March 4 the parents had their English assessments completed and this should lead to enrollment into ESL Classes for them. Thursday was also a day of visits to the dentist and doctor.

On Monday March 7 the washer and dryer were delivered, the living room rug was taken out for cleaning and the 4 year old started tot spot, a pre-school program that runs from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm Mondays to Thursdays.   The Ministers from Deer Park, Scarboro and St. Andrew’s visited the parents and the 2 year old. Kiran from Deer Park also made the visit along with an interpreter. The topics ranged from the conflict in Syria to their trip to Canada.  Rev. Lee from Scarboro brought along a bag of lentils that came from a farm in Saskatchewan.

On Tuesday and Wednesday the phone service was hooked up along with the internet and TV.  The washer and dryer have been hooked up and instruction on their use is scheduled for Thursday morning, this will mean the end of the volunteer twice a week laundry service.

We are organized into 11 different working groups with 1 or 2 Team Leads each and we have a base of 70 volunteers.

The rest of this week and next will see more action taken in regards to ESL education for the parents and more in the health related areas.
