Volunteer Service
Presented in Rankin Inlet: July 2006
Pierre Aupilardjuk
Pierre Aupilardjuk - He is a friendly, reliable, caring person, satisfied with life and comfortable to be with. He makes sure his elders have ice for their drinking water and for tea, and always fetches water in summer, again for their drinking and for making tea. His elders greatly appreciate that he is always there if they need assistance because they don’t like to ask. Pierre served as an escort for his elderly father during the time he had a major surgery in Winnipeg, under medical care for one month and a half. He also escorted Elder Julien Tartak who had hardship during his time as a medical patient in Winnipeg. Pierre went beyond his duties as an escort, giving care and attention, making sure the elderly were comfortable in their time of hardship and above all preserving their dignity. He volunteers his time and energy without ever complaining, with all his heart.
