Community Voice

Volunteering today at community voice was an exhilarating experience and it reminded me that service is only half of the job, we must also connect with the people who we are serving so that they can know that there is someone who cares about them. I never expected that trimming trees and raking a yard would turn into a discussion about life with the owner of the property. It was just simply amazing to see someone open up to us and tell us about his life when he barely knew us, and the way he engaged us showed that he enjoyed our service and company, and more importantly he saw us as more than just volunteers. If today was just a preview of what we have to look forward to this week, then I know that AWB 2015 will be wonderful.
