Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I have volunteered in many areas since the age of 14. I am a retired pediatric nurse and worked for 35 years. I was very proud to help save the life of a young boy. My greatest joy is my family including 9 grandchildren.
Why are you participating?: 

We all need to see that there are many good people in the world. This projects helps to spread good news and smiles. Thank you Troy.

Singer
Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I love music and love to sing. I also play the piano. Although I'm not an "accomplished" musician I enjoy opportunities to share my love of music. I volunteer in my church and sing with the kids in our church school. I also volunteer at the day camp in the summer. It's such a joy when the kids really use their "singing voices", learn a new song and actually master singing a round. Kid's singing together is a sure "smile maker"! All the better when parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles sing along ...
Why are you participating?: 

Troy contacted the Worcester Women's History Project and I'm the president. It sounded like a lot of fun and I think it's a great project. Too much "demonizing" going on these days ... glad to see someone trying to celebrate our differences in a positive way.

Showing people (especially my grandchildren) that curiosity and love of learning can last a lifetime! I volunteer for Meals on Wheels and our town's historical society, and sing in a women's chorus that performs in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

What a creative way to generate positive energy!

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
My biggest "good deed" of my life was being with my AIDS buddy when he died. But that was a long time ago. It is so easy to get stuck in the daily routines -- work, exercise, taking care of the house, etc. etc. and to get out of the habit of doing "good deeds." Now I like to donate my art to organizations to raise money for their causes.
Why are you participating?: 

When I was little I had one of those See no Evil figurines. I loved it. I tried collecting them several years ago, but only found two. So now I am my own See no evil. Thanks, Troy!

Grandmother
Liberal
Privileged
Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
Life has been very good to me, so, upon retiring, I decided to give back to society with my time and money. I volunteer at the thrift shop at Abby's House, a shelter for women, and at Cafe for Thought in the Worcester Public Library which is staffed by Friends of the Worcester Public Library volunteers.. I regularly donate to many organizations in many walks of life: the arts, the community, education, and medicine. I also am a good friend and visit the elderly and home-bound to bring some cheer into their lives.
Why are you participating?: 

By supporting the No Evil Project, I hope to make the world a better place.
