I am getting valuable experience, learning lots of new skills, and expanding my knowledge about various aspects of Canadian lifestyle and culture. I am also glad that I have the opportunity to contribute to the development of NHA as an aboriginal organization, and therefore trying to help them to the best of my ability to achieve their great goals."

Barbara Miranda:

“I enjoyed working at NHA, because the employees were helpful and supportive towards me. I appreciate the encouraging words from Kiri, Victoria and Tracey. It was a pleasure to work with such excellent people. It is a different work environment because people show how much they care about you.”

Agostino Miraldi:

“I am very happy that I did work as a volunteer at Noojimawin Health Authority, which serves the urban and rural Aboriginal communities. One the main objective of this organization is “to promote the physical, mental emotional and spiritual well-being of persons of Aboriginal descent”. It gave me the opportunity to explore the world of the Aboriginal people, which I knew something from the study of Canadian history at University of Windsor, Ontario. It was not just work but a learning experience. I hope that Noojimawin Health Authority will continue its work for the welfare of the native people.”

Charles Kimotho:

"I liked working with Victoria, Tracey, & Kiri cause I learnt a lot from them and from the company. I am happy for the company to see my efforts & wish them all the best in their work and may God bless everybody."

Anne Mouat:

"Noojimanwin has a good quality collection of information about Aboriginal health, but when I arrived it was difficult to access because there was no catalog of what was available. That was my job. I helped set up a database and train others to add data about the collection.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Noojimawin, and was pleased to be able to assist them using my professional skills to retrieve to retrieve the information they have in their collection. The staff are very friendly and I learned a great deal about Aboriginal issues in Canada both from them and my work with the library. I just wish that I could have spent longer with the organization."

Carole Folk:

"NHA provides a great volunteer environment in an ideal location. Staff are friendly and appreciative."
