My passion is international development- In grade 10 when I heard about IDS for the first time, I decided that was something I wanted to learn more about. I have various volunteer experiences that taught me so much about community development and the importance of education. After the birth of my first son, I wanted to learn more about what resources there were for new moms and parents- I didn't find a lot until I stumbled onto the concept of postpartum doula. Being a postpartum doula meshes my concept of community development with family development. I am a postpartum doula in Peterborough. I am certifying through Doula Training Canada. I have experience with a variety of postpartum issues. Further, I decided to pursue an interest in Early Childhood Education. Child development is a very important topic because children are our future. I believe that the creativity of children will led to a better life and the end of poverty. I have a lot of volunteer experience with children. I volunteered at local museum to help run day camps for children. I did range of activities, including crafts, clean up and dealing with minor discipline issues. I also volunteered in Jamaica teaching summer school with a group of high school students. Specialties: I have volunteered with non profit organizations and have teaching experience. I have stepped away from blogging. But I used to blog based on my parenting, gluten free recipes and living, international development and eco friendly living. I also posted book reviews, cover reveals and giveaways.
