Eloisa shared an update of what she has been up to. School in Ottawa - she is on the honour role - congratulations Eloisa. Students worked with some local small businesses to help them during pandemic to improve their business. Eloisa worked with a Yoga club that also sells some products. Eloisa applied and was accepted to work with a mentor to develop / pitch business ideas. She has her first meeting with mentor today. She is taking some extra classes in negotiations techniques. When asked why I believe she feels she has trouble negotiating from her own position. During lock down she has had more time at home so never sedate, she is always keeping busy and active. She tried to learn French but gave it up as too hard and is now learning German. Work - She works at Tip Top Tailors part-time. She finds it nice and this weekend while manager away, she will manage the store for two days. Volunteering - She volunteer(s) with Red Cross and at start of pandemic went out in low income areas to talk to people to learn their needs. A lot of Russian spoken so communication and understanding was an issue. Some needed help with essential supplies such as groceries. She is part of local Rotex program (former exchange students). She will be one of the speakers at the March 9 Tuesday Talks District 7070 holds virtually. She also helped at 10,000 Villages until they closed. Eloisa now as a 5 month old 'bunny'. She is learning how to make soy candles. She says we have to stay creative and develop new ideas. Eloisa has an online skin care business. She is taking couple weeks off for mid-terms and look out, she is taking driving lessons and has her G1. She did visit her family in Brazil late last spring. Some issues getting back to Canada due to huge increases in flight costs. She found a way back via Mexico where she stayed in a small cocoon like enclosure for lay over at the Mexico City airport. She graduates in April and plans to pursue International Business as a career. She is looking to take more schooling, possibly in Germany. We wished Eloisa well and congragulated her on her good works and efforts. She turned 20 on February 3.
