Dear Editor,
A scrapbooking project was successfully held in Salluit for
the second consecutive year. The scrapbooking project is part of
the Healthy Lifestyle Projects that were proposed to the people of
Salluit to promote and develop positive alternatives in leading a
healthy lifestyle. These inclusive activity-based projects are aimed
to create a positive environment where participants develop the
values of effort, perseverance and self-esteem. These core values
are necessary to ensure safe and healthy communities.
Our most successful project has been the scrapbooking project.
Scrapbooking is a hobby to preserve memories in a unique
way. Photographs are embellished with all sorts of additional items
like paint, paper, embroideries, charms, stickers, words and so on.
By enhancing these pictures, there are also enhancing their lives.
For the last two years, many women of the community have
met for evening sessions of scrapbooking. While creating something
unique and very personal, they also share and help each other. It is
a special moment for these women to spend quality time.
Once a year, there is a scrapbooking camp that is an intensive
four-day activity. We are very grateful for the funding that
was in part provided by Makivik. Salluit now has a continuous and
active project that is a great success story and it can be replicated
in other communities.
