PSI Volunteers at Missionaries of Charity

This isn’t telling the right hand what the left hand is doing.

This is just to remind myself to do outreach at least once a year! I’m really determined to do this! The spirit of volunteerism has been with me, but sometimes my work and my family hinders me from doing so. I’ve always wanted to help others, especially kids.

I was Sunday School teacher to 4-8 year old kids for many years and I miss doing that. :(

Anyway, now that 2009 is approaching, I promise that I will share more of myself and my skills and talents to others especially the ones that need them most---less fortunate children!

Anyway, these are the pics from PSI Outreach last December 13, 2008. I attended the Leadership seminar last June and PSI admin asked those who attended the seminars for volunteers on this outreach. I immediately said yes. I only have to be there and help with the distribution of food and gifts to the kids. No sweat! :D (That’s what I thought: the sun was determined to roast us that day and the makeshift shade was a little help. Anyway, I enjoyed the day!)

Hi beth!

Im just wondering, are those the same kids that we held the party for? Andameng bata no? Yearly niyo ba yan gingawa sa missionaries of Cahrity? Or meron din kayong ibang charity home?

Wow Liz, Im so proud of you, how I wish I have an opportunity to do like this with the less fortunate kids.
I even promised myself that I will sponsor some qualified kids to send to school so I will be able to share my blessings.
