Fourth Sunday of Lent

Working wonders for people with special needs I was a rebel, the now 22-year-old said, adding he often broke the cardinal rule at the Silent Voice Sign Language Summer Camp by speaking rather than signing. Looking back, it was disrespectful It wasnt until Tyler was too old to attend the day camp for deaf children that he realized what hed learned at Silent Voice was a priceless gift. He began to understand his language skill was in high demand and that becoming an interpreter was a career he wanted to pursue. So, after graduating from high school, Tyler enrolled in the American Sign Language program at Torontos George Brown College. Determined to right the wrongs of his youth, he also signed up to be a counselor at the SLSP camp. One of the most important lessons for him was that people and attitudes can change. It made me appreciate the good intentions of people who helped me grow, Tyler said. Its a good feeling knowing someone cared about me so much. I appreciate it now. It really helped me see the best in people. Now hes passing it forward. ShareLife-funded agencies in our region assisted more than 22,500 people with special needs last year, affirming their value to our society and making us all stronger as a result. Next Sunday, March 17th is ShareLife Sunday Please give generously.You can work WONDERS!
