My 2nd Radio interview

    I was interviewed by CBC Radio about the CDI contest reward before Christmas vacation. This is my second radio interview. I was also nervous speaking to the radio host this time but I am glad I got to elaborate on what and who exactly helped me get back on my feet when I came to Winnipeg. I couldn't have done it without the team of people that rallied around me. I hope my encouraging words can influence people in similar situations to not give up and to ask for help when it's needed. There are a lot of organizations in the city of Winnipeg ready to help individuals find normalcy and purpose. This place cares.

I won a contest and was interviewed on the radio

    My college decided to do a Giving Tuesday contest. To win people had to use the hashtag #CDIiskind and post pictures of themselves doing nice things for homeless people and society. I gave money to a homeless person and bought coffee and food for another. I also picked up litter from the ground outside and threw it away in the trash can. 

    I ended up winning on Twitter! There were two rewards to choose from but in my heart and mind I had already decided that donating was the best prize. I just wanted to give back to Canada and to Winnipeg so I chose a charity and asked CDI College to donate the funds there. CDI College loved my choice and decided to donate a thousand dollars to my charity, which is the downtown Salvation Army, Centre of Hope shelter.

    Word got around of my generosity and of the college's great contest reward. 680 CJOB decided to ask me if they could interview me about it and I accepted. I was very nervous but the phone interview was quick and painless. Over the phone radio interviews are actually pretty cool and fun. They connect my voice to what's going on at the radio station and then broadcast everything on the air. I really enjoyed this experience. I thank God and my college and Canada. Their really are angels in the (radio) airwaves.
