For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask participants questions about their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms) and how they cope with negative life events or challenges. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily expressive writing activities for seven consecutive days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing four follow-up online questionnaires, one immediately after the writing activities have ended and three at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program. Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.

Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges.
Compensation: For phase 2, you will have the opportunity to win one of four $50 money orders. Each writing session and follow-up survey completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw (i.e., if you complete 7/7 writing exercises and 4/4 follow-up surveys, you will have 11 entries into the draw).

YES Canada is seeking host families in the Renfrew County area to host international high school students from France and Italy for a 2 or 3 month program beginning in April 2021. Becoming a host family is a great way to experience another culture at home and to have a truly enriching experience.
International students plan their study abroad program months in advance and pursue the experience to learn about our culture and language and to build lifelong relationships with their host family and peers while attending high school. Students have been accepted to study at a local high school and continue to be committed to experience their study abroad opportunity and are aware that their program will take place amid a different environment in light of Covid-19.
We have adapted our programming to adjust to the new environment for students and host families presented by Covid-19. Guidance will be provided to students and host families throughout the process both prior to arrival and throughout the program and our team are available to answer questions and provide information. Students are also required to comply with all Government of Canada and Public Health requirements during Covid-19 including a 14-day quarantine upon arrival and testing both prior to departure and upon arrival in Canada.
We believe that purposeful travel is an important part of what connects and unites us, and the exchange program can continue to build a universal understanding and connection in these unique times. We know that the host family experience is key to providing an enriching cultural and language experience, and provides for a comforting home away from home to students embarking on this journey and builds lifelong bonds.
Why Host? As a host family, you can contribute to this experience for the student and also have your own rewarding experience. Not only do you and your family get to learn about a different culture, you also get to share yours!
We ask that host families provide 3 meals a day, a safe nurturing environment and welcome the student into your family’s daily lifestyle. Host families are compensated with a monthly stipend for doing so. If you are interested in sharing in this experience and hosting an international high school student or would like to learn more about our homestay program and how we are responding to the impacts of Covid-19, please contact YES Canada at the email address or phone number below:

Hello to all
IF you know someone who fits this criteria please leave a donation and a contact we would be happy to reach out.
The goal is to raise enough money so I can have enough to purchase or help with the down payment of a outdoors retreat where I can offer both for profit for the outdoors enthusiasts, but the real goal is a for charity access to an environment that would help heal or at least show those in need that there is beauty in this world, when they only see the darkness the world brought upon them. Kid's and adults. The profit part is to help pay for the people that need help to get to a place such as this or for those who don't even realize that an experience like this can be a life changing moment. I've always said if I ever won the lottery I would buy a lodge for those in need, not singling out any type of person, and help them forget and rediscover the beauty of our world, but I don't play the lottery. MY hole life I have persevered through what life has thrown at me, being abused as a child, the divorce of my parents as a young child, having to help take care of my younger siblings as my father worked odd hours and shifts to provide, the deaths of my god children and grand mother in a house fire and many injuries.
I have so much passion burning inside me for my dream I just couldn't take it anymore, so I'm reaching out to you all. I'm always saying my dream job would be to make the lives of someone who needs a restart or to help them forget about life's pain, whether a person was abused or is sick or has an addiction it doesn't matter to me I will put a smile on a face that hasn't smiled in a while, I just wants to show a person life can be good, the outdoors is a great healer as it has helped myself, so I know first hand.
I am not looking for a free ride I is willing to put his life savings to accomplish this goal, and my goal is to help someone heal from the heart, even when I was hurting on the inside I was always smiling they call me smiley because I want to make others smile.
I have given my heart , soul, blood and my health to my all employers . I have helped build Hospitals, schools, our government buildings our work places and even our homes for decades and am so proud to have contributed to society and never wanting any glory.
I literally feel other peoples pain, on so many occasions I feel it in my body when someone is hurting or feels pain, or when injured, I shed tears for those I feel merciful for, whether its in person or even on t.v.
My mother was a missionary she travelled to countries when they had disasters to help the needy, I know I have her gift of wanting to help others.
I love wild life and taking pictures of outdoor scenery, for every donation I will try to give a digital picture that I have taken for you to use at your will through an email or other
Please help us to help someone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my dream.
