Andrea
– your dynamic and cheerful presence is already missed. In addition to the devotion and passion with
which you served the men and women at Just
Solutions, you also found time to organize bike rides, benefit suppers and
charity ping pong tournaments! We will
try to emulate your amazing spirit that has left a lasting imprint on your
colleagues and on the organization. We wish you all the best ‘down under’ and
look forward to pictures and stories of your adventures!

“Taking part in
the work of MCM and Just Solutions is an important opportunity for me as a law
student; it is a chance to be active in the support network for individuals and
families with precarious immigration status in a real way. Recently, I thanked
Rick (supervising lawyer) for taking the time to look over my writing, he gave
me an amused look and said: “of course; we're a team here”. It's both the
importance of the work, and the attitude of the team at Just Solutions that
have me feeling so grateful to be here for the summer.”

“I'm very happy
to be volunteering at the Just Solutions Clinics where I can use the skills I
have acquired in university to help people in a precarious status. I'm also
very glad to be surrounded by a great team of workers and volunteers who share
the same passion of making a difference in the community.”
