New Directions' Volunteer - Margie Knapp
Margie Knapp has been volunteering at New Directions for over a year now, practicing Speaking- Listening-Reading- Writing with Literacy level Newcomers to Canada.
Margie is a resident of Langley City who spent 25 years as a missionary in West Africa in administrative work and ultimately, opened a Skill Centre- for learning English, office practices and computer skills - for adult men and women.
Upon returning to Canada, she settled in Langley City in 2004 and because she has no family here, decided to volunteer by helping Newcomers learn English.
At 81 years old, Margie is clear that she would rather do something to fill her time than sit in her condo and do nothing. She had previously volunteered at CLA’s English Studies for Life in Canada program for 16 years before coming to New Directions.
Margie experiences great joy out of seeing “the light go on” when a student with beginning language skills grasps a concept or a word. She has fun volunteering and believes “no matter what your age is, volunteering is a good way to make yourself useful!”
