Sandy Smith shares about HOCHELAGA-MAISONNEUVE:
5-YEAR PROGRESS REPORT

As we shared a lunch together on April 4th, I felt so grateful for the people from different organizations who have agreed to work with us in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Guy St. Onge, the dear priest who cares for several congregations. Manon Bonin and Lise Perras, from Les Enfants de l’Espoir, now named Carrefour Parenfants, where our after school program Entr’Ados is located. Véronica Islas, 200portesHM, coordinates programs for families. Sean Lacroix, the Eco-Quartier ‘s “green guru”, addresses health and ecological issues. And Anne St. Pierre, of Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi H-M, “dean” of all social services by her longevity and wisdom in working with youth. Glenn, Samuel Augustin and I had invited Nick Azzuolo and Hugh Brewster from World Vision to meet our partners and hear their perspectives on transformation. World Vision has helped us get started in H-M for the peace and well-being of children. They wanted to see for themselves the progress we are making through partnerships.
