đ Hands-On Learning đ
The Genie in a Bottle Project is proud to have collaborated with the teachers and staff at the Huntingdon Adult Education Community Centre (HAECC) for the past four years.
As part of the Semi-Skilled Program, Christopher Philip Deschamps has been completing a stage with us, dedicating five hours per week for four years. But his commitment doesnât stop there â Christopher also volunteers with us weekly, proud to make a difference socially and environmentally.
He has participated in numerous community bottle drives, spending entire days helping groups raise funds. We often joke that Christopher is our âright-hand man and jack of all tradesâ â always ready to step up, whether sorting aluminum and metals, moving bins, or assisting with logistics. Those hundreds of bins have definitely built a few extra muscles! đȘâ»ïž
Christopher also has a creative side: he sings the song he invented, âI have been to the south, I have been to the north, I have been to the east and to the west, I have been everywhereâ, reflecting his volunteer work all over town. His contributions often take him to our drop-off locations and partner sites â literally in all directions!
Some of Christopherâs highlights include seeing the cobblestone streets and Ferris wheel in Old Montreal, the illuminated buildings at Place des Arts, and the prestigious homes in Senneville.
Christopher, we are so proud to have you as part of the Genie in a Bottle Project family. đ
