Volunteer Activities
June 11, 2006 by Lillie
I’ve been doing a lot of work on the Web site for my church — All Saints Anglican in San Antonio. If you’re a Christian, you might enjoy some of the features, such as Bible search, Bible verse randomizer, free e-cards, an inspirational movie … If you’re a non-Christian curious about what Christians believe, visit the site to learn more.
Today the Women of All Saints (and several men) had a work day at the church. The men and several of the ladies worked outside upgrading the landscaping. The rest of us stayed inside where it was cool and packed a box of toys and games to send to Fr. Jerry Sherbourne for Operation School Drop, a project involving both the Army and Iraqi police to deliver educational games to Iraqi schools and villages.
Hi Lillie,

aditya,
Thank you for your kind words. There are quite a few early posts that don’t have comments. I blogged for several months before I got my first comment other than a couple from friends.
I think volunteering is a very important experience in one’s life. Many people think that one wins nothing volunteering, but this isn’t true.
First, you win the chance to do something that is good and that goes a long way. Second, just because you don’t make any money doesn’t mean you can’t add your acquired experience to your resume!
Check out our Volunteer Programs in South America if you’re interested.

You’re right. Volunteering is great for the organization you volunteer for, but it can also be good for the volunteer. You gain valuable experience that you can leverage for paid work.
Lillie,
Sorry about that! I’m not a bot, I swear! ^_^U
Dario,
Thanks for coming back and telling me your name. I’m much more comfortable talking to Dario than to Exspanish.
Its rewarding to do something without expecting anything in return. Nice post!
John,
Yes, volunteering and helping others is rewarding, and I know that Americans (and probably many people in other countries as well) in general are very willing to do those things.
