Donors Bring Joy To Jenna’s Neighbourhood

May 12, 2021

Jenna adores books. Wherever you see Jenna, whether at home or out and about, she has a book in her hands. Her favourites are Little Critter books or the Berenstain Bears.
 
She uses these books to communicate with family and friends by pointing at certain pictures from the books. Her dad, Doug says, “Jenna’s books are a conversation starter everywhere she goes.”
 
Thanks to your support, Jenna now has a little free library in her yard and can share her love of reading with her neighbours. Combining her love of reading and appreciation for her neighbourhood means Jenna gets to meet more people and share the books she loves.
 
In addition to sharing her own books, Jenna loves to see what others have left behind. Her little library brings joy to her block and the area around it. It is also a conversation starter for passersby, and encourages interaction and connection with neighbours. This helps her feel more connected to her community and brings a smile to her face.
 
Thank you!

Just like our province, the St.Amant community includes people of all backgrounds. This month, many of us will celebrate belonging, inclusion, and the beauty that exists in diversity. This is Manitoba Accessibility […]
