Rethreaded Inc. Reflection

While every person on the CNN heroes list was impactful, Rosie Mashale was the most impactful because of her involvement in her community. She founded both Baphumelele Educare Centre and Baphumelele Children’s Home, which has given people opportunities that could change their life. “Baphumelele Children’s Home was created as a place of safety for abandoned, abused, neglected or orphaned children, many of whom have been affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic or have HIV/AIDS themselves.”(Gieske, paragraph 5). By creating a children’s home she has given those children stability that they mostly likely wouldn’t have had while in their previous situation. The children in the home now have access to education, safety, and love that they undoubtedly wouldn’t

Throughout these chapters, the reader’s are able to witness the growth of one woman’s idea. Through the many connections Ms. Burton made, she is able to find the economic support needed for her organization to thrive and help as many women as possible. Donations started pouring in from millionaire Mr. Forstmann to receiving multiple truckloads per week from Bed Bath & Beyond; support for A New Way of Life was growing.

Volunteering at the Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home over the summer was an invaluable experience. As I became more comfortable, I began extending my duties beyond physical tasks such as serving food or transporting residents. I started interacting with the residents on a more personal level, not as a volunteer, but more as a friend. In return, the residents became increasingly open, and the nurses watched as I conversed with residents they had deemed as reserved. Sometimes when I helped residents they would say nothing, but at the same time they said everything I needed to hear. I probably appreciated helping those residents, more than they appreciated me. Every night when I went to bed, I felt I had actually made a difference. This volunteering experience allowed me to realize that whatever I do in life, I want to go to sleep feeling the same way I did that summer.

It is worth nothing that “Every cause produces more than one effect,” (Spencer). In like manner my grandmother’s selfless acts of compassion left lifelong effects on every individual she encountered. Beatrice Strong was a backbone of her family and the community: She supported us by working two full time jobs, she volunteered in her church, and sojourned the elderly in nursing homes. Her love and support have helped me and my family conquer the inevitable. She managed to instill positivity in everyone who knew her. Not only was she an amazing role model, she was a hardworking woman who believed “Happiness does not come through selfishness, but through selflessness.”

Conformity due to social influence is portrayed in the movie. The mob mentality seen in the towns desire to assume the guilt of a black man based on no apparent evidence. In addition, the Scout and Jem were criticized in the school as well as in the town because their father is defending a black man. On the other hand, Atticus was also pressured by his own family member and other town folks to support the whites in the court

The summer before high school, I decided it was time to get involved in the community. A close family friend who attended my church offered a volunteer position with her organization called Clothes to You that supplies low-income families with free attire. The non-profit organization resonated closely with me as my tribe, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, suffers from severe financial hardships, and realizing how life changing an organization such as this could be I promptly accepted her offer. On designated days we drove the mobile van to predetermined locations and transformed the desolate parking lot to a bustling shopping center. People of all ages filled the aisles and I assisted shoppers searching for outfits as varied as interview

Prior to our impact project they didn't really have a lot to supply, to their children or even for themselves. The women appreciated our comfort. We also went to a local nursing home, that same day by the name of First step Therapy services. We hosted an event called buddy for a day, this was where each member of the leadership was assigned their own

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Actually, I am familiar with the stages of change as I have personally applied it, about four years ago, to break some bad health habits caused by difficult life circumstances. Although the term transtheoretical model is new to me, perhaps at that moment, I was more focused on how to take “action”, a behavior that can be identified to belong to the preparation stage. After several unused gym memberships, and the feeling of being eternally stuck in the preparation stage, but with a lot of determination, I was able to progress to my current stage of change, which is the maintenance change.

After finding the main office and meeting the Volunteer Coordinator , I was led to the area where I would be spending my time volunteering. The employees in the donations area greeted me and directed me right away as to how I could help. All of the employees seemed to enjoy their work and appeared laid back and relaxed, and I am sure it feels good to know they are getting a paycheck, but also, they are enriching the lives of many people in need in their own

I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me. So I recruited, interviewed and hired central city staff to be part of camp. This involved going to their neighborhood for interviews because they had no means of getting to camp.

I also got to talk with and get to know some of them. They talked with me and my supervisor about their experiences with the kids in their schools they serve. While Michelle taught them about how domestic violence affects kids. It was also an emotional one because the Foster Grandparents program is being cut in the western part of North Dakota. This is a great program and I truly believe it is helping kids and I’m sad to see it be cut.

There were more than a thousand registers and volunteers at that time. It was a warm Saturday morning, a perfect planning and everyone felt happy and excited for the good cause. I finished 2 miles run even though I have had a limited physical strength. Recently, I have visited the shelters and had a privilege to interview Manager who is in charge the place provided me as much information as I need. Thomas House supports approximately 135 to 150 individual per year within their current owned of 16 apartments. Last years, over 95% of their residents graduated from our program, 89% moved into their own house and 81% got full-time job. I know that many people are without deep pocket or even they work hard to make money for their lives. However, just image ourselves donate by registering for event running for homeless children. The amount Thomas House can get and they can help a single mom of two who came to US from a domestic violence. Thomas house has been able to provide her with an independent home-cleaning business. That's mean the provide them with a new beginning, and we are help her too. As everyone know no one has ever become poor from giving. Just imagine how happy she is with her children, and we feel good

Significant experiences, whether physical, mental, or emotional, have remarkable consequences on a person. Sometimes they may result in negative consequences, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), that only decrease the quality of life of an individual. In many other cases, though, when recovery has been successful, many people give back to the community in order to help others with similar experiences. As I read Part 3: In Search of Lost Time, Susannah Cahalan’s recovery depended very much on the experiences of everyone who helped her such as family, friends, doctors, and even strangers. Susannah’s slowly, but surely returned as an improved version of past self. Though it was clear to Susannah she had lost parts of her, she also realized

I offer my services to the community in a way that many people wouldn’t expect. Due to financial issues I wasn’t able to volunteer the way that I wanted to but that didn’t change anything. In my area and amongst peers I have become someone they can come to in times of needs, whether it’s for a place to sleep, a hot meal, or an outlet for their emotional and mental distress. I have done extensive research on how to handle certain mental illnesses and emotional outburst so I can be prepared to give everyone the care they need. I am also very active in educating other members of my family and community about mental illness, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse in the black community. I found that there are many ways to give back to the community.
