The kids have come to love being volunteers. They used to volunteer at our local library, and spent this past summer helping out at the annual Summer Reading Program. They were there several days a week helping out the younger kids with various activities, including teaching the little ones to read.
After we moved in June, we discovered that our local library here doesn't have a teen volunteer program. Both were abit upset at this loss of opportunity.
But alas! My stay in the hospital has proven to be a blessing in disguise.
Turns out the hospital has an in-depth teen volunteer program. The kids brought home applications and were filling them out the other night.
One question they had to answer was "Why do you want to be a volunteer?"
Jonathan (13) immediately answered: "Because everybody needs a hug".
That's my boy.
