why you volunteer.

I can't help but be inspired by my friend Pam, who is spending a two week vacation volunteering in Romania.

"During my 2 week stay, I'll be caring for small children in a Failure-to-Thrive clinic. The children arrive when they are about 3 months old, and are either brought in by their families or a nearby hospital. They are usually underweight because of malnutrition, but can return to the families when they are healthy again. If the family can not afford to raise the children, they are either adopted or taken in by a foster family."
