Well I haven't started yet, but I begin training for my hometown's SPCA in May! I'm excited because I love animals to death. I am not excited because I will bawl my eyes every day. I just became a reiki practitioner and I hope to give good loving energy to all my furry friends!! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us, Maria, and for spreading the good loving energy! The world can never have too much of that! :)
DeleteI don't have a picture of this but I will tell you the story.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest child is my son, Noah. He is 5. We live near an irrigation ditch that feeds thousands of acres of farm land. Noah and I started cleaning the trash out of the ditch about 3 weeks ago. ( No photos b/c it is only he and I doing it). I would love for my son to get 25$ off some new clothes. He is such an amazing little guy.
He also volunteers at our local museum picking up litter. And we have collected 4 trash bags of trash from a recreation area near the river. Noah and his sister Araya ( 4) think it is their job to pick up litter " because only asspoles litter".
It's always wonderful to hear about children truly making a difference. We appreciate all your little buds do. Rock on with keeping our earth clean! Please send your story to kindnessmatters@soul-flower.com :)
DeleteFirst of all - thank you to all those who volunteer!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been a volunteer for my beautiful children in their school classroom for the past eight years. The students who often don't get enough assistance at home can fall behind. That's where I come in, reading, math or whatever they need. Sometimes, just someone to listen or give them a hug.
Now, my own children are beginning to volunteer as well. My son helps with veterans programs and science field study work.
LET'S KEEP VOLUNTEERING

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI'm a volunteer for a program called Doulas Care. Which is a great organization that provides low income women with a birth doula. The program is completely ran by volunteers and donations. I can't wait to be matched up with a mama who is looking for support during the birth of her child. In the mean time i volunteered to be a birth doula for my friend who couldn't afford a doula. It was such a wonderful experience to be such a support to my friend during the birth of her child.
To be there for someone in such a life changing moment means so much - thank you Erin for supporting those who need it! Please email your story to kindnessmatters@soul-flower.com :)Peace!
DeleteMy daughter started kindergarten last year. I started volunteering in her classroom shortly after. I help out with reading, math, passing out snacks, cleaning and most of all comforting the little guys and gals when they are having a bad day. Sometimes they get a little snippy with one another and I try to help them realize there is a kinder way to talk to and treat their peers. My daughter loves when I am in her class. If nothing else, I hope my presence in the classroom will help make them kinder to one another. ; )

DeleteI am the assistant coach for the junior and senior high equestrian teams for my school district. I help kids sign up, organize practices, and help kids at the shows so everyone makes it to their classes. Last year I still managed to make it to all shows and practices, even though I had a baby mid-season. I just wore her in her sling at all the shows :) I also just started another volunteer job being co-director of an organization called Intact Michigan. We promote intact awareness, oppose infant circumcision, and provide research-based evidence to help parents make an informed decision. Just before I started, I organized a protest in front of a local hospital. Below is the link to the newspaper photo of the demonstration. I also wear clothing from Made by Momma that promotes intact awareness when I'm running errands, and I give people info cards and talk to them if they approach me and ask questions. I really love what I do. I love helping these kids with their horses, and even more, I love spreading awareness about male genital mutilation. I hope I see the day it is illegal in this country.
