There are many volunteers in the world, but not many of them ever get recognized… and when there is a chance for the recognition to be there, they shy away from the spotlight. That is a true volunteer! I have been lucky to work with many great volunteers over my life… There are 2 people who – in my life – have made an impact other peoples lives
The first person was a special woman, who never wanted the spotlight. She did so much for our church (while it was still open) She was a choir member, she held a spot on the church board… She decorated the church for the holidays …. and was always Very friendly… Just an outstanding member…. Yet she always would shy away from any recognition. She was just known as the gardening angel.
And another great volunteer in my life…is my mom. When she was let go from her job, she still volunteered to do school round-ups and events… Just because she felt the kids there were just like her own …. She couldn’t deny the kids of the extra help. Who else would be there to help with book fair… or go in for after school events just to serve food for the young’ins. She did get her job back after a year of being laid off… And even though she’s works with the kids during the days (paid for) she does go in after to root her “Family” on at the talent shows, concerts…. Book fairs… all the events where they may NEED an extra hand.
