What sort of volunteer work do you do in your community? |
|
In these dark times, it is important to remember we are part of a chain of big-hearted people who care about the Earth, about the life that gives it fruitfulness, and about a world where rights would be respected, children cherished and Peace prevail.
What do YOU do to be of service? How does volunteering feed your soul and make you hopeful about the world?
Me? I volunteer regularly at my kids' schools and with a local hospice organization as a Volunteer Visitor. I sit with the dying and provide emotional and practical support to their families, as well. I have been deeply blessed by this work because, among other things, it takes me out of my own personal concerns and taps me into the Bigger Picture of our common humanity.
I'm curious to hear other perspectives and experiences on this issue...
