Friendship Circle of Ottawa, Canada, recently honored its teen volunteers at a family barbecue in Hampton Park.
MMP Yasir Naqvi, member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and one of The Ottawa Citizen’s “People to Watch,” was a guest speaker and took time to personally acknowledge and thank the volunteers.
He presented each teen with an inscribed Certificate of Appreciation for their devotion and dedication to Friendship Circle and its families.
Founded by Dr. Yosef and Devora Caytak in 2006, the initial funding was granted by the Canadian government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation and then ultimately renewed in 2008.
The organization reaches out and extends a helping hand to families whose children have special needs and involves them in a full range of Jewish and social experiences.
Friendship Circle’s unique formula introduces volunteers to the children and through shared experiences both are enriched.
