I find that the critics of voluntary service are all too often those who are prepared to accept such services when they require them but deride them with cynicism and scepticism when they see others helping and being helped.
Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action. These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud.
I think volunteerism in America generally is what makes America so special.
Let us remember the large numbers of citizens who, day in and day out, through acts of volunteerism large and small, bring hope to so many of the world's disadvantaged. Let us ensure that this wonderful resource, available in abundance to every nation, is recognized and supported as it works towards a more prosperous and peaceful world.
No man can become rich without himself enriching others
Service is the rent we pay for living.
