Tell Us Your Good Deed

For a number of years I have volunteered as a tutor through the House of Peace and Education. Through them, I have provided knowledge, a listening ear, emotional support, and care to hundreds of underprivileged children. I have made myself available to any child in their program who needs a trusted adult and/or a positive role model in their life. I have worked hard for them to know that they matter and are important. I've done this by telling them, and by demonstrating it in different ways. I have given them fun activities to do, and taught them things at the same time.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I save every stink bug that gets stuck in the house. My friends know this and always tell me if there is ever one on the bus. I'm the only one that will touch them.

Why are you participating?

I want to show the world that "onlies" can be loving, selfless, and independent, and that we need to see beyond the historical labels.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As a nurse, I help my patients stay well, and when they're sick, I help them to get better! I try not to judge people, but take them as they are. Everyone deserves good care from their medical caregivers!

Why are you participating?

I like the idea of not judging a person by what you see when you first meet them. You never know what someone has been through in their life until you sit down and talk with them, and take the time to get to know them.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I've instilled in my children a willingness and desire to help those in need.. And to treat others as they would like to be treated, animal & human alike.

Why are you participating?

Because this project breaks down barriers and works toward teaching acceptance of each other's differences, to embrace and celebrate the awesomeness of individuality
