Peer helpers making me proud

On June 10, 2007...

I have been working for Six Nations Police Service under the Community Service Section as a trainer for their Peer Helping Program in JC Hill School in Ohsweken. It's been a learning experience for me and my friends at Six Nations Police. Having to coordinate in such a productive school. I tell you, that school is awesome. They always have so much going on, and sometimes it's hard to get scheduled in. This is a reflection on the school, and also a reflection how busy I am travelling throughout the year.

Anyhow, the school year is almost done and we wanted to end off with a bang. We had a meeting today doing our final preparations for our peer helper workshops. Our peer helpers are divided up into three groups, all delivering a different workshop, Healthy Relationships, Self-esteem, and Bullying.

Here is a picture of our meeting today. These young people are absolutely amazing! I've seen them in action, preparing and practicing their workshops. They are making a difference, and will continue to so. These young people are going places, I so honoured to be working with them.

We have grades 6’s and 7’s tomorrow, and grade 8’s on Friday.
