For a number of years I have volunteered as a tutor through the House of Peace and Education. Through them, I have provided knowledge, a listening ear, emotional support, and care to hundreds of underprivileged children. I have made myself available to any child in their program who needs a trusted adult and/or a positive role model in their life. I have worked hard for them to know that they matter and are important. I've done this by telling them, and by demonstrating it in different ways. I have given them fun activities to do, and taught them things at the same time. I have given them some of the happiness they couldn't get at home, and in turn they have brightened my world.
