Meet Teti Kabetu. Teti joined our staff at CityKidz Ottawa last year to work as our Director Wendy Turpin’s assistant. Teti was a volunteer with us just after he arrived back in Canada from his China experience and he and Stacey both eventually volunteered helping with our CityYouth. Since then, Stacey and Teti married, and now Teti is working on staff. Teti’s heart for the CityKidz mission is unstoppable and if you read what follows you will see why. Here is his story. It’s pretty amazing! Thank you to Janet Mabie at Spur Ottawa for doing such a wonderful job telling it!
