Richneck Elementary is committed to 21st Century Learning!
I was eager to volunteer with PORT this past weekend but was not prepared for what I saw. There were 10's of citizens who came into the center. I knew that I would see men. but was unprepared to see senior citizens, females and others - especially a student I taught when she was eight years old. That broke my heart! She seemed fine - she even introduced me to her husband. I remembered that I has a lot to be thankful for. I also remembered that I had to show compassion for others.
ReplyDeleteI was very humbled even more than I am as I volunteered my time with PORT. To see so many men, women, and children homeless made me very thankful for everything I have. I will not only continue to have compassion and pray for them, but to count my blessing daily for what I have.
ReplyDeleteWhen I volunteered for PORT, I returned personal belongings to individuals. Everything they own fits into one bag - and they take it with them wherever they go. I am so blessed to have so much.
ReplyDeleteI volunteered for the first time for PORT last year with my church. I have continued to do so again this year. As difficult as their life seems to me, they are very polite and friendly. I am continually reminded that no matter how diffuclt my life may seem, someone else has it even tougher.
ReplyDeleteI have volunteered for PORT before and enjoyed my experience. So as soon as Mrs. Burruss told us about Richneck's opportunity to volunteer, I knew that I had to put my name on the sign up sheet. The best part of working at the PORT registration table was sharing laughs with my Richneck friends, with the local church members that I met and most of all with the homeless people that we were able to help. Hey when is our next PORT volunteer opportunity?
