VOLUNTEER WORK – ok
I am still exploring the idea of volunteer work. I wrote the March of the Living to see if they need volunteers. This morning I just wrote the Make A Wish Foundation. I don’t think I want to do any fund raising. Anyhow I will wait to see what type of volunteers they need.
I already did forty minutes on the treadmill. Now I’m trying to decide if I should go back to bed or do some messages this morning before I go get my haircut at one thirty.
It’s only 8:47!
I don’t know if you would be interested in this, so I’ll tell you about it. Here at the hospital where my granddaughter was born weighing only 1 lb 7 oz. they have a “grandparents program” where people come in to hold the babies whose families live out of town or who can’t get there on a daily basis. This is because it has been proven that human touch helps the babies grow faster and heal faster. If there is a hospital near you with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, you might want to check to see if they have a volunteer program like this.

I have heard of the grandparent program the noter talked about, it sounds like a wonderful thing. Or maybe there is a soup kitchen in your area, you could help prepare and hand out meals to the homeless.

You’ll find something that fits you. Volunteers are so vital to our society, good for you! If you’re interested in children, you might check into the C.A.S.A. program to help children during court proceedings.

I think that during the off season, when I am not working at the state park, I might do volunteer work for Relay for Life. I bet you’d be really good with Make a Wish Foundation, since you love children so much! ryn: I really don’t do anything else online except OD and stuff related to it (Photobucket, searching for new backgrounds for my page, etc.) hugs, Weesprite

Meals on Wheels is also a good program – helping to deliver meals to shut-ins. They are so appreciative! I think it’s GREAT that you are doing something, can’t wait to find out what you decide on!
