Volunteering - For the soul... or for the birds?

[PollyannaFlower46]

I think it all depends on the cause as well. When I was younger, I worked with kids who had Downs Syndrome, and helped them do their homework etc. Sometimes it was pretty hard because I was the same age as they were physically, but mentally they were only 3 or 4. I wanted to volunteer after 9/11 as well, but I was never really in the right emotional stage to do so, and by the time the Red Cross contacted me again I was back in school and couldn't work the times they needed me. Over the summer, I would like to do something again, most likely with children.
