Tell Us Your Good Deed

Helped people young and old cook for health.

Why are you participating?

Labels build walls and I want to help build an unobstructed world for my daughter (and yours!). This project works to break down barriers and to help us see each other for who we are.

I am a volunteer facilitator for Rainbows here in Ireland.
Rainbows is a free, voluntary service for children and young people experiencing loss following bereavement and parental separation. The Rainbows service is an inclusive service, supporting children and young people experiencing grief and loss resulting from bereavement/parental separation/parental relationship breakdown /divorce. Attending the programme provides children with an opportunity to meet with other children of a similar age and loss experience.

I volunteer at Audio Journal, work on the annual United Way Campaign through work, and at the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts. I donate to various causes that are impacting my own life or the life of those close to me. I feel it's important to give back to one's community which not only helps others, but enriches my own life as well.

Besides volunteering, I love to share my interests with others....It's great to hear what interests others, share in what is fun in other peoples lives...and share what excites you.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because we need to notice others...we are so technology driven, we no longer know about the people around us. Stop, look around at all the beauty and excitment around us !

I volunteer for The Hanover Theatre, am the Chairman of our condo trustees. I volunteer for many other organizations, and support the Veterans shelter in Worcester. I finished my son and daughter-in-law's basement, including a full bathroom

Why are you participating?

This is an interesting endeavor. It will be interesting to see the final mural for The Hanover Theatre and see all the volunteers pictures.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Of all the actions, seeing, hearing and speaking, the one that I control is what I say. The others I refuse to participate with. I have always loved locs, the hairstyle, and the positive energy of those that wear them. I currently do volunteer work with Art in the Park, Worcester, support Democracy, activate for a community where the institutions and the cultural life reflect that of its inhabitants.

Why are you participating?

I like the fact that the no evil project is a simple positive project and an easy way to activate.

I am becoming more involved in volunteering and donating. I have helped to clean up a couple of parks. I will be walking for cancer this year, and donating my hair for cancer patients.

Why are you participating?

I may not be able to make a huge impact on improving society, but I know that I do not stand alone. The combined effort of many can change the world, and I can only hope to say that I was a part of it.

I was a mentor for an at risk youth in Portland Maine for over a year. We helped each other tremendously and it was a very humbling experience that changed my life.

Why are you participating?

I want people to be aware that children and adults are being prescribed powerful medications to alleviate pain. I was prescribed vicodin at 15 for back pain, and finally graduated to Oxycontin by 26. The drugs took control of my life.
