has been such a rewarding experience

“If you look closely, you will see
that anything that really matters to
us, anything that embodies our deep
commitment to the way human life
should be lived and cared for, does
some form-often many forms-of
volunteerism.”

“I've always wanted to help people.
Being a New Beginnings volunteer
has given me this opportunity.
Simply knowing that I can be there
for someone during one of the
hardest times of his/her life means
more to me than anything. It's one
of the most difficult things I've ever
been involved in, but definitely the
most rewarding.”

“That best portion of a good man's
life—his little, nameless,
unremembered acts of kindness and
of love.”
William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
