Helen has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school.

When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.

She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.

After a strong storm destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care center.

One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees(難民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sarah, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sarah a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sarah questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sarah learn many new words about her everyday life.

Helen says, “The real value of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help, They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs."
