I would like to thank Michelle and Ami for teaching us helpful topics, for being patient, and for not giving up on us.

The ice breakers in the morning, and the random games in the afternoon that we played
everyday helped me to be comfortable in class and to get to know each other better.

I really enjoyed them and always looked forward to them everyday.

To John and Carlos, thank you for your hard work to find us
better jobs, for your encouragements, and for guiding us through the interviews. I would like to give a special thanks to our Executive Director Halima Ali for CAIWA and for giving us a chance to live a better life. To the staff, thank you for all your help. Thank you CAIWA for accepting us in your family, for treating us like your precious children, and most of all, thank you for believing in us. Also, I would like to thank the
Canadian Government for sponsoring this program.

They taught us how to be better people, they made sure we got to this day, and many of them are here now to see us transition to the next part of our lives. To Michelle, thank you for teaching us about Essential Skills, Business English, Idioms, Canadian culture and etiquette, Business letters, resumes and cover letters, Workplace Safety and most importantly, the ice breakers that I was really waiting for when we started our class each morning.

To Ami, thank you for all the knowledge that I have learned from the Computer class, the Microsoft office, Blogs, Website, and business cards. To Carlos and John, thank you for your help and eagerness to find the best job for all of us. 
We learned things we I didn’t know before.

To the Canadian Government, thank you for sponsoring this Program, without you, the YESS Program of CAIWA would not exist.

I learned about Canadian and Workplace Culture, Public Speaking, Workplace Harassment and Violence and how to write Business Letters in Michelle’s classes. In Ami’s classes, I learned how to create a website, how to write Blogs plus Microsoft Word and Excel, and so many things
that I didn’t know before. The Ice-Breakers that we played in Michelle’s and Ami’s classes, were really exciting, every day I was waiting for those games. I am so glad that I joined the Y.E.S.S. Program. I made new friends. We shared our food with each other. I loved spending time with them.

In this Y.E.S.S program I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before. The language was a big
challenge for me. I learned about Canadian workplace and Culture, Public Speaking, business letters,
Idioms, Resumes, Time Management and how to communicate with people. It helped me to gain more
confidence in myself. I also learned about computers: Microsoft Office, blogs, websites, Excel, Power
Point and creating business cards.
