At Parkland Antigonish<\/a>, N.S., the bond between Liubov Tokareva, a dedicated waiter, and Sister Josephine, a beloved resident, is more than heartwarming. It\u2019s transformative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some time now, Sister Josephine has been helping Liubov improve her English by providing her with daily lessons that go beyond just grammar and pronunciation. These are engaging conversations that keep Liubov interested and motivated to learn more and continue improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each conversation opens a door to discovery. Thanks to Sister Josephine\u2019s encouraging teaching style, Liubov not only improves her language skills but also uncovers fascinating facts about the world around her. \u201cRecently I learned that hummingbirds fly to Nova Scotia in the summer,\u201d she says, still smiling from the moment she saw them fluttering outside the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These lessons are more than just educational; they\u2019re moments of connection filled with kindness, curiosity, and joy. \u201cI love to study, to learn something new. I am very grateful for these lessons, for the time given to me to improve my English,\u201d Liubov says with heartfelt enthusiasm. \u201cI am very happy that I have such a wonderful opportunity,\u201d she adds gratefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day by day, their relationship grows stronger, shaped by Sister Josephine\u2019s dedication and their shared conviction that learning and friendship go beyond age and language barriers. They thrive, together.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
