To Save a Life Group Busy Promoting Their Message

Feb 17, 2011 | 11:59 AM

We have begun to forge the way towards the Northern Communities of Saskatchewan as our heart is to reach as many First Nations schools and communities as possible with the 'To Save a Life' project.

On Friday, February 11th we were on the Thunderchild First Nation Reserve presenting at the Piyesiw Awasis School. There were 70 students, 10 teachers and the Director of Education popped in for a visit during the event.

The event was well received and the students responded by telling us what they learned from the film & presentation and how they are going to step out and help their friends.

The team spent the rest of the school day with the students interacting with them even attending a Chemistry lab class, help with a basketball drill, and sitting down in a mass group session talking with them about their hopes and dreams, encouraging the students to stay in school, letting them know that they need to have dreams and strive for them.

The greatest part of the day was when we got up to go speak to the teachers the students didn't want us to leave!

We were able to help a young lady cope with a very difficult situation and rallied her friends around her in the hallway and did a massive group hug and they commited to each other that they would be there for each other.

Pretty powerful sight to see the teens take action right away. Very rewarding day for Team To Save a Life as we know it impacted a great group of students and teachers in Thunderchild!

We are in La Ronge this Friday, February 18th @ Kikinahk Friendship Centre at 7pm. If you know someone that is or has been effected directly or indirectly with suicide this presentation will change your life! Film also addresses bullying, self-injury, addictions, teen pregnancy, and home family breakdown.
