"real" volunteer work

Mysterious

Has anyone done any real volunteer work since leaving the dubs or while a dub (scandalous?) and no you can't count delivering the rags. I highly recommend it to anyone leaving the borg as a good way to make connections and feel genuinely good about helping other people. Hopefully I will have a chance to do more in the future but right now I work with a non-profit organization that helps adult parolees re-integrate into the community by finding jobs, applying for housing and ID or volunteering in order to prevent repeat offending.

Yeah, I worked for a German volunteer hospital in Aragum Bay Sri Lanka after the tsunami. Didn't see and jws about!! Actually didn't meet any religious volunteers, all too busy saving lives in the real world to discuss beliefs.

Yes, I was a reading tutor in a low income school district during college. Right after college I joined a VISTA-like organization to create and present educational programs about MRDD. Currently I am a member of a non-profit that is active in community events and fund raising for charities.
