Especially if one approaches it in the spirit of listening and learning. I spent a year working as an intern at a homeless shelter (room, board, and $1.85/hour in 2002-2003 - not volunteer work, but close).

You can ask a local school principal what groups work with students in your area or go to your local children's hospital. There are also usually message boards up at most libraries with information.<BR/>The knowledge you need is all around you once you find the will inside.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900726730265994177noreply@blogger.com
