My first time
volunteering at Give Kids the World.
Volunteering at Give Kids the
World on Friday was wonderful. I loved it, even though
my back hurt for 2 days. Dan and Patrick helped readjust
it.
Incase you don't know what
GKTW is, it's a fun place for terminally ill children
to visit, play, have fun, forget about hospital walls,
and enjoy themselves. Most of the kids look normal
and are energetic. The kids who came were cheerful
and happy to play with Kuddlepup and Rollie over in
The Castle, while Randy and JR puppeteered to Trout
Fishing In America, Aqua, and other fun music group
songs. I swear I've never seen Rollie so soaked!
Some kids held Rollie's paws
and jumped around. I sat on the floor and played with
a little girl who liked to dance, but couldn't stand
up without assistance. One particular girl liked poking
his nose, where I would make *HJEP* sounds.
The Funday group were treated
to ice cream afterwards, and as I sat I looked around
at the happy faces. I later returned in October.
