TESTIMONIALS
What students have to say about MAGMA:
"MAGMA shows a way for integration in Canadian culture and it
is a meeting place for different newcomers."
Ousmane, Mali
"MAGMA is a place where you can have the opportunity to make
your integration into the community easier as a newcomer. It gives
you an opportunity to learn one of the two official languages in
Canada. I have enjoyed learning English at MAGMA."
Catherine, Benin
"I appreciate the activities and good kindness at MAGMA. I
like meeting all the newcomers from different countries and we have
a good time of exchanging about our cultures."
Yisak, Eritera
"The teachers at MAGMA are very nice. One thing I like about
them is they encourage us and give us counselling when we are depressed.
They also prepare us to be independent in the future by including
programs to teach us Canadian cooking, time consciousness, and how
to find a job."
Rebecca, Sierra Leone
What volunteers have to say about MAGMA:
"Volunteering with MAGMA is a way of repaying a debt for me.
70 years ago, someone welcomed, guided, and made life easier for
my grandfather when he arrived in Canada. I think about this often
when one of our new friends makes a discovery or has success. Someday,
my efforts also will be passed on."
Janine Granchelli
"My newcomer and her family have taught me to listen to the
sound of my heart, and feel the warth and its freedom... She has
taught me that there can always be hope, there can always be joy,
there can always be peace.... in the hearts of those who truly believe
in miracles. It's been an amazing journey."
Cynthia Cain
"Being involved as a volunteer with refugees has been one
of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am moved by their
experiences of adversity and their strength of spirit in overcoming
their situation. They have given me far more than I could ever give
them. Each refugee is a testimony to the human spirit!"
