Volunteers make it happen
Volunteer Week is April 7-13. So much of what we do relies on the generously-donated time of many volunteers. If you have been part of a Conversation Circle, helped a newcomer family settle, served food at the ESL Training Centre's Fresh Start breakfast program, or contributed your valuable time in any way, accept our deepest thanks!
Celebrating
forty years!
We have been serving newcomers in Newfoundland and Labrador since 1979. Watch for celebrations and activities this year, but in the meantime, check out our new website .
Do you have an ANC memory? Let us know via e-mail: news@ancnl.ca We'll be sharing as many stories as we can throughout the year.



Thanks to donors
Kindness is shown in so many ways, and we appreciate every one. Special thanks this month to St. Thomas's Anglican Church, Suncor, and the Canadian Federation of University Women for their financial support of our new breakfast program.
Another sincere thank-you goes to everyone at Winners' two St. John's stores, who have donated clothes to our ESL students and their families.

"We are ready to give back"
Students at our ESL Training Centre raised more than $1600 for the Janeway Children's Hospital. When asked why they wanted to do this, the reply was simple. "We want to give back and we want to let the people of St. John's know that we are here to help too."
