Seek Help, Receive Love, Heal Within
Thank you Rose Hamilton, centre in the green sweater, for your very informative talk about SOS Children’s Village, their history, and what it’s like to be a foster child in British Columbia today.
Thank you, also, to Karen McKee of Warm Buddy for the adorable warm-up polar bears that are going to the foster youth at SOS along with the Christmas stockings the students of John Volken Academy made.

November 25th, 2018, West Coast Wishes Artisan Collective, Shear Bliss Hair Studio and A Door To Everything Society welcomed the female students of John Volken Academy for a day of wreath-making, haircuts and nail-care.
John Volken Academy students with hand-made Christmas stockings.
The idea for the Christmas stockings came from Rose Hamilton, Director of Community Partnerships & Donor Stewardship for SOS Children’s Village, British Columbia.
A Door To Everything Society was so thankful to discover the therapeutic community in Surrey that John Volken (former owner of United Furniture Warehouse) has created for drug and alcohol recovery for young people.
Meeting the students at John Volken Academy has been a delight
and teaching them sewing has been amazing!
With much gratitude to Ingeborg from Bowen Island,
the students now have an industrial sewing machine to work on.
