Canadian Camping Adventure for Newcomer Youth by Allie
Allie Steinley is one of the kindest women I’ve had the pleasure of meeting during my travels in Saskatchewan this summer. She genuinely cares about helping people, and I loved listening to her stories about her volunteer work overseas while we had lunch at the Ponteix Bakery and Restaurant—which makes the best long john donuts, by the way!
Not only did Allie help organize the digital storytelling workshop in Ponteix, she also participated in it. Allie wanted to share the story of what happened when she and one of her co-workers at the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre went on two camping adventures this summer with more than 30 newcomer youth living in Saskatchewan. During the workshop, she wrote and produced this touching digital story.
I have had the privilege to work and interact with Allie, and I must say what a brilliant lady she is. She works very well with young people. She is such an asset to our community. For her this is a natural gift. She is calm and collected and loves what she is doing. Please keep up the good work you are doing!!!!!
