Personal testimony from Volunteer sent to Cody Vigeant and Alan Gallant from the CWB Welding Foundation
Good day, gentlemen,
It's been a long time since I鈥檝e had the pleasure to perform activities such as this. It鈥檚 very dear to me and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Dan (Daniel Vollman, Instructor) is an excellent individual and we got along just great.
He was interested in the CWB, asked many questions and indicated that he will apply some of the ideas that I passed onto him. He allowed me to interact with the students as well, to give some pointers and a bit of instruction which I was more than happy to do. They were a younger crowd, but all very attentive and happy. I assisted in helping them make a few small projects in the afternoon that allowed me to present to them some support and illustrate the techniques they were using.
I consider this to be as much of a personal development experience for myself as it was for them.
Thank you both for the opportunity.
