Awards & Accolades
We’re extremely proud of the awards we receive. Probably because it’s not easy to do what we do. There is no playbook for working in First Nations and Inuit communities, nor for international development work. Sticking with it—let alone getting good at it—requires enormous resilience. In the North, basic communication, logistics and travel are sometimes a challenge. These factors can impact the ease of delivering programs. Overseas, the challenges are no less pronounced: civil war, drought…sometimes the government of the very people you are helping tries to bump you out for political reasons.
So when Tanzania’s Ministry of Education wants to talk with us about rolling out the programming we’ve kickstarted on a massive scale, it feels pretty good. That’s when you know you have the expertise, the experience and the resilience to endure and to succeed. It shows that we’re maturing as an organization.
