Journal Entries, Reflections, and Essays

Often when volunteers are hard at work they get so tied up with the work they miss the bigger picture of what they are doing and the impact they are having.  It is for this reason thinking back (reflecting) on what was done is one of the key points of any volunteer's day.  Below are but a few of the reflections (someday we'd love to turn them into a book).
