Hi my name is Sadeedi Gargan. I am from Fort Providence and I am 16 years old. I am a 2017 NYA participant in the Canadian program. My experience down south has been awesome. I get to do stuff that I don’t really get to do in my community.

My host family is so awesome! They take good care of Matt and I, and ask if we are ok! There so sweet! I am having such a great time with them. They always have some fun activities to do in Belleville. I am so grateful that Billy and Maggie took Matt and I into their beautiful home! You da best!

My work placement is in a thrift store called Salvation Army. My work placement has been great so far, I met some interesting new people. At my work, I help sort clothes and other stuff. Some days I go upstairs and help the lady’s in the kitchen by cutting up vegetables and clean up for them!
My co workers have been really great to me asking if I’m ok and if I had my breaks! They are all so nice!

The activities I mostly do in Belleville include walks with Billy, Maggie and Monty, going skateboarding, going shopping at the mall, and working outI try to go out as much as possible and this Saturday I am going to a foam fest which I am so excited!

I am loving it here in Belleville and I am also really enjoying myself this summer, making new friends and memories! I am having a great experience so far and I can’t wait to here about everyone else’s!
