I felt inspired to travel to Cordoba because Argentina's history of human rights activism is powerful and deeply moving. I wanted to learn directly from people working on the front lines of social justice, contribute in a practical way, and return home with a deeper understanding of justice and resilience.

I had been dreaming of doing a volunteering project abroad for many years. This dream probably started when I was a teenager. But perhaps like many women in my generation, I got married, had two children, and am now a grandma enjoying a quiet life in a house I bought for my retirement in the backcountry of the Province of Quebec, Canada. I am a healthy person. I can use all my physical, manual, and artistic skills every day, besides part-time jobs, which I will talk about later.

The opportunity to serve as a link between volunteers and organizations in need of all kinds of support has been my main motivation for joining the Association. At the same time, I am convinced of the importance of learning other languages, and teaching Spanish allows us to provide our students with a fundamental tool.
