He originally planned to move from the countryside to one of the grassland provinces, however, it was the people who changed his mind. He says his intention was to gather a couple of years of experience and leave, but because of how he was received by the community and the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, he decided to stay. Since then, he and his wife have had two children in the province and recently moved his mother Jinjapan, as well as his brother and his family, to the province. Ginjappan says he is excited to be part of the mission. He says it’s a place people in Newfoundland and Labrador aren’t familiar with, so he can add the experience of living in both places to match the right people with the right places.
