"It’s important for me to do something because I have grown up with so much, but there are so many with nothing. I feel like I can’t sit…while many people live without basic necessities."
—Francine Abes, national office volunteer
"I enjoy the environment I work in. The people are the friendliest I’ve ever worked with. Strangers smile at you when you walk by and everyone is working towards one goal—to help those in need. It is refreshing to be surrounded by those who live their life as I do. I feel more understood at World Vision."
—Laura Modesto, national office field placement student
"Volunteering with World Vision allows me to feel connected and part of the world in a bigger sense than just through the routine of my everyday life."
—Karen Bryne, special event volunteer
"What keeps me [volunteering] is the fact that my spiritual life has been enhanced and my life transformed in the process of helping to change other peoples lives, especially children."
—Olufemi Adegun, national office and Life Change Network volunteer
