During their 3 week stay here, La Giraudi\u00e8re benefitted from Janis&#8217; role sorting through the volunteer applications and Venicia&#8217;s help with household management. We want to thank the two volunteers not only for their help at La Giraudi\u00e8re but also for the bubbly atmosphere and sense of humour they brought with them. Between the two of them, they really made the volunteer community feel like a close-knit family. It was very sad to see you both go and we hope that you visit again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8251\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8251\" class=\"wp-image-8251 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Janis and Venicia and French Cuisine\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/french-cuisine-002.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Janis and Venicia with Paul, Christine and Anna<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8253\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Venicia_Christine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8253\" class=\"wp-image-8253 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Venicia_Christine-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Janis and Venicia with the Other Volunteers\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Janis and Venicia with Christine and Anna<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8255\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8255\" class=\"wp-image-8255 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Janis and Venicia with the Other Volunteers\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/volunteers_Anna_Janis_Faith_Venicia.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Janis and Venicia with Faith and Anna<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arrivals and Departures at La Giraudi\u00e8re This Week On Tuesday 12th June, La Giraudi\u00e8re welcomed Catriona to the group of volunteers.
