As a caregiver, Virginia Chan has a tight schedule. However, she manages to squeeze in time to rest and connect with the community.

Making the best of her experience of teaching and working at a soap factory, she has become our facilitator for DIY Soap classes every other month and her classes are always among the most popular of all. This time, she'd like to share with us some thoughts about DIY.

Thank you Virginia for being our facilitator and sharing your talents!
Would you like to share your stories or tips? You cannot imagine how much you could inspire or help another in the community! You are welcome to call us at 604-279-7099, or email [email protected].
