Most of the vol-
unteering I have done
through the years has
been through my
church. It always
makes me feel nice to
help those people.
They are so grateful
for something so
simple.

do for people is not
necessarily done in or-

work. Many times I will
make something or

reason at all. I think
this is one of the best
ways to serve other
people, because they
really know that you
are there for them.
