[QUOTE="AsweetGirl, post: 3087534, member: 68271"] Maybe they like books too! I [I]am[/I] fluent in ASL. But really I posted that stuff because it's useless. And I could be wrong but some of the group volunteering programs really just seems like a show... for numbers or group pictures of everyone wearing the same volunteer shirt. Real people in the community need help. Volunteering locally makes a visual difference. I guess I just feel like asking for money donations and sponsors from friends and family to fund a wealthy company's gift for another company to afford research for studying and potentially curing a disease or ending hunger in another country doesn't really solve a problem or benefit a community. Don't get me wrong, I'd volunteer my time and participate in walks to find cures (I walk every year for a father in law, who died of leukemia).... I'm just sort of thinking out loud. Does volunteering for big companies charitable expenses really make a difference? I guess I just like to visually see people who benefit from good deeds. [/QUOTE]
