+ Weekly Volunteering 4 Non-Profit Agencies- 2 food pantries, 1 nursing home, and 1 school for special needs kids. Student Comments: i learned how much patience some of the staff have to have when working with older people. i want to continue to learn how i can get to know the people there and how we can have fun with them I learned that everyone is not as fortunate and that helping them makes a difference. I also learned that helping those who help the less fortunate can really mean something to them and that they will feel less stressed.

+ Student Reaction i learn there are many more ways to communicate with a person other than just having conversations with them, you can use machine, touch and etc. I learned that not everybody can have what I have. Sometime people need more help than others. I want to continue to learn how can help out more, what other thing I can do to help poeple thats in need
