Tell Us Your Good Deed

I took a gap year after high-school and traveled to a rural area of Ghana. While I was there I volunteered in an orphanage/school, where I taught 4th grade. At first I felt uncomfortable and under-qualified to teach these children, but soon realized that the orphanage could not afford to hire another teacher at that time--so I threw myself into the job. The accomplishments of those kids during my time teaching them is forever ingrained in my memory.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer at my sons library, because of the budget cuts they can no longer afford a librarian so to keep it open for the children I volunteer my time. I also volunteer at ACE which is a non profit organization to help African immigrant children get caught up in school and adjust to life in America.

Why are you participating?

I think it's a beautiful thing to see the good in every individual.
