My name is Monica, I'm 40 years old, I'm a journalist in Brazil and I've been in Toronto for 3 months. I'm learning the language, but I can communicate and understand. In Brazil I worked at an ONG that cared for adults and elderly people in the terminal stages of life with AIDS, among other weaknesses. I offered my time to feed these people, talk, play games, clean simple bandages, administer medications, brush their teeth, take care of cleaning the place.
