Katimavik at the Tova L’arche Cafe
The Katimavik youth led by Joanna Mathews, project leader
The Katimavik program is a youth based volunteer program who’s mission is to expose Canadian youth to the regional and cultural diversity of the country and its two official languages through Katimavik’s program model.
L’Arche Winnipeg partnered up with Katimavik in 2009. The main area of interest was the Tova L’Arche Cafe. The Katimavik youth have enthusiastically supported the Tova L’Arche Cafe in various ways, which include:
- Raised funds for the L’Arche cafe through a bake sale.
- The youth recently assisted in cleaning and assembling tables at the cafe.
The Katimavik youth have also supported the L’Arche Winnipeg community through:
- Repainting the Ark ,which is one of the L’Arche homes.
- Assisting in the 2011 Walk with L’Arche.
- Food preparation for the L’Arche Winnipeg Solidarity Social
- Assisting in the 2nd Annual L’Arche Winnipeg Circle of Hope fundraising Luncheon.
L’Arche Winnipeg is fortunate to have the continued support of the Katimavik youth.”Volunteers polish up the rough spots in our community,” Alice Sandstrom.
