Charities

As an active member in society a large part of my time is spent teaching, helping out with all sorts of activities. Some tasks are better than other but every time we have an event I love getting started with anything from helping with the youngsters to organizing donation for family in needs. It might not seem like lot of work but sometimes organizing for a large group can be time consuming specially behind the scene you always want the lots of stuff for the most families.

Growing up, was pretty harsh I went thought tough times with a deadly diseases that isn’t  that common it took a toll on me specially with being social but as time went on I developed a inspiring friendship with a classmate. His name is Alexandre. Knowing his background that he didn’t really care or listen to anyone and constantly getting into trouble, I started accepting and really trying to understand why he acted that way, but I never really understood it was just crazy.  But against the odds we bounded to the point he would do absolutely anything for me.  At time teachers would ask me to work with him all the time I mean it wasn’t that hard he would seat and do pretty much everything. But when I moved we just lost touch.

So when we moved to the US I moved right back into the area of helping first kindergarten (terrible English), then the special led and lastly at WIC a pregnant women center. WIC provides pregnant women, women who are breast feeding and kids up till the age of 5. So as we got to the equity project last semester. I was very excited with so much to think about and do I went right into it. Starting working on my hours with the make a difference foundation, with my church we all went out one Wednesday night and handed out fliers for our store opening on Saturday which would provide families in need with clothing and furniture. On Saturday morning people would come in and donate items while in the afternoon families came in and grabbed whatever they liked.  It was a great success and great opportunity. I didn’t really choose what foundation I was willing to volunteer for I just did it. If it isn’t about me it about helping those in need. I always see it as an opportunity to learn from or to give too. You don’t need to do a lot to help others you just need to be willing.
