Activities
- Volunteering in a range of not-for profit agencies; hot lunch program, handing out toiletries at a shelter, gardening, recycling, paper delivery
- Fundraising for Christmas food hampers administered through other city agencies
- Gardening and sharing profits and produce with those less fortunate.

- Increasing communication; learning sign language
