All the Way from Brazil: Office Volunteer Arlete Casagrande
28 Oct 2020
Recently arrived from Brazil, Arlete joined our office volunteer team in 2019. At the time, she was studying at NSCC and was looking for opportunities to engage with her new community. She reminisces, “As a newcomer, it can be challenging to get to know people outside of the academic environment. Volunteering helped me to overcome the emptiness and sadness of living in a new country, where you don't know anyone. It gave me a purpose.”
