five of his group, the remaining six in
their group worked with the mentally
handicapped in various institutions in the
Midland area.,
While travelling with. Katimavik, Karl
has four days off every three .months
and in Midland he worked from Wednes-
day to Sunday at the ski resort and spent
Mondays working as a 'volunteer .in the
community. Each person is responsible
for finding a -volunteer job in the
cornmunity and Karl worked at a friend-
ship centre handing out second hand
clothing . to the needy.
The difference between the military
option and the civilian option meant the
group needed time, to adjust from being
told what to do, when and how in the •
military. situation, to having the choice of
getting out of a work experience what you
put • into it.. . •
• Karl says his stint in ,the military has
shown him the military life is not for him
and he wants a career as a policeman.
He has learned a lot 'about himself
while travelling with Katimavik. He
knows his strengths and weaknesses. He
has learned to adjust 'to living with a
group of individuals in the group home
situation where everybody, has their own
eccentricities and idyosyncrasies.
The Katimavik program is \excellent
for any young person who does not know
what he 'wants to do or where he's going
in life, says Karl. It's an excellent
opportunity for someone who wants a
year off from school because they are
undecided. Working as a volunteer for a
$1 a days puts a whole new persepctive
on things.
The work experience has been very
valuable to Karl because of the skills he is
learning as he travels aroundour country
meeting Canadians !from various back-
grounds. Working as a Katimavik vol-
unteer is an experience he will always
remember.
