excellent suggestions.
more and more high-schools are requiring community service before
graduation, and far more kids would like to help animals than
people--a sentiment i can certainly identify with! there's a lot of
things that retirees can do, as well, with skills gained from years of

children, one of which is a Down's Synd. baby...where are you?
I found the kids willing to help that time at one of the high schools in t
No kidding! That was exactly what was going through my mind when

what's really sad is that, with the in-fighting that goes on, people
are sometimes afraid to ask for help when they need it. or if they DO
ask for it, it's either used against them, or they don't receive it.
it IS hard to learn to know your own limits, to say 'no,' especially
