It's 2020 and my family and I are sitting at our lovely kitchen table. It's a beautiful sunny day and my children and I have gathered lettuce, tomatoes, cuc**bers, peppers, and herbs from the garden to create our home cooked meal. My family is of Greek decent so we have made a lovely fresh salad and to go along with it my husband has prepared pork souvlaki on the BBQ.

They call themselves "The Someone" ( someone to speak, someone to listen, someone to care, someone to change.) those words are right on there cd cover. With a group that goes all around Canada to highschools to make student's aware of issues at home, loosing someone to alcohol, and teen… Continue

The key isn't to completely change the culture, the key is to embrace it and enhance it.



I think a good thing to actually learn what it is really like is to place yourself in there shoes and live there for a week. Do what they do, live exactly how they would, and talk and listen to the right people. I think this is the best tip "Listen to the right people. Okay, so you probably don’t know what it’s like to carry fifty pounds of firewood on your head. Well, don’t pretend that you do.… Continue
